18
Reasons to Volunteer Your Time
by Roger Carr
We know that volunteering
a portion of our time is something we should do. There are reminders
all around us that our help is needed. Other people will significantly
benefit from any time we contribute. But that is not the only reason to
volunteer.
Have you thought about the
benefits you will get from volunteering? If you consider the many
benefits you will receive, you will be asking yourself why you aren't
more involved with helping a cause. Consider these 18 reasons to
volunteer some of your time:
1. To make new friends
2. To build personal and profesional contacts
3. To build your self-esteem and self-confidence
4. To develop new job skills
5. To make a difference in the world
6. To increase personal satisfaction
7. To add experience to your resume
8. To develop people skills
9. To develop communication skills
10. To do something as a family
11. To explore career possibilities
12. To feel needed and appreciated
13. To share your skills with others
14. To be challenged
15. To do something different
16. To earn academic credit
17. To improve your health
18. To have fun!
You will get more out of
your volunteer experience than you put into it. Don't hesitate to
identify and donate some of your time to a worthy volunteer
opportunity. You will be glad you did.
