Benefits Of Volunteering

Make a difference! Volunteers can reap satisfaction and benefits of volunteering by becoming involved in their communities. Not sure how volunteering can be a personal benefit to you? Here are four reasons to give a little time:

1. Growth - Volunteers see growth and change. This reinforces the volunteer's own sense of worthiness and vitality in the program.

2. Enrichment - There's nothing more fulfilling than realizing how much of an impact a volunteer can make. Just a few hours of helping can turn into a lifetime of opportunity, which is one of the greatest benefits of volunteering.

3. Learning - Volunteer opportunities often allow people to try new activities or learn new skills.

4. Friendships - When like-minded people get together, friendships are formed. By giving just a few hours a week, lifetime friendships may be established.
