Volunteering in your community is a win-win situation. Not only do you help those less fortunate than you, but you also receive many benefits as well – both personal and professional.
Nothing gives you satisfaction, like giving back to your community. Volunteering brings knowledge, experience, and positivity to your life. Check out these benefits for giving back to your community:
Giving back helps you de-focus from yourself and your challenges while showing you the struggles and needs of others.
Think about the impact we can make on others when we become a part of something bigger. Giving back to the community allows you those experiences.
Regardless of how you decide to help your community, it’s likely you’ll learn something you didn’t already know.
Because you’re helping others, you’ll feel more positive about yourself.
Depending on the type of community work you do, you could learn something that will help you in your job or future employment.
Getting out and giving back to your community will help you meet more people. You never know how far your positive influence could travel – bringing you new prospects, clients, or even job offers.
It does your heart, mind, and soul good to reach out to help others.
If you want more people to know and recognize you, helping others is a significant public relations strategy.
Because you’ll encounter so many new people, you could meet people that could later become friends.
Volunteering contributes to your community by uplifting others in the area.
Volunteering makes a difference to you, to the agency you volunteer for, and to your community.
Living your best life involves making and maintaining connections with others. Giving back to your community develops a network of resources you’ll be able to access when you need them.
Volunteering gives you marketable experiences and qualifications to include in your resume.
Some college instructors recommend “service-learning,” which is another term for “volunteering” or “giving back to your community.” Service-learning provides a real-world experience to students that would be impossible to learn in the classroom.
Seeing how others live their lives enhances your own life.
Giving back to your community is essential for several reasons. By volunteering, you view a world outside of yourself, learn new things, develop positive feelings, gain job experience, and make new contacts. Plus, helping out in your community is a kind and marvelous thing to do.
You might become well-known, make new friends, strengthen your community, and even add a line to your resume when you volunteer.
When you give back, you’ll experience things in the real world that you can’t get in the classroom, and you’ll see how others live. For these reasons and more, make it a point to give back to your community. You’ll be inspired!
Listen y’all, all of these benefits are fantastic. However, I do want to point out, almost all of them are self-serving. Of course, it is the icing on the cake to receive all these benefits of volunteering, but please realize that giving back is not for you. The root of volunteering is benevolent. Giving back is about kindness and compassion for others. It is about gratitude. Acknowledging your abundance of blessings and sharing what you have, is what volunteering is all about.
