Why Volunteer?
Sometimes, it’s useful to think about why you want to volunteer in order to find the role that’s right for you. Here are some reasons people volunteer:
- Feel good: in the words of the late, great James Brown, volunteering can make you feel good and improve your health.
- No More Billy/Mary Nae Mates: volunteering can be a very social activity and help you meet new people.
- Learn new skills and gain experience: volunteering isn't just good for the soul; you can pick up a new trick or two as well!
