What are the benefits of volunteering?

 All volunteers give freely of their time and expertise in order to make a difference. Volunteering can help anyone, young or old:

• Make important networking contacts
• Learn or develop skills
• Gain work experience
• Build self-esteem and self-confidence
• Improve health
• Help you meet new people
• Feel needed and valued
• Make a difference in someone’s life
• Express gratitude for help you may have received in the past from an organization

Whether it is important to you to solve a community problem, advance a worthy cause or to develop as a person, volunteering offers many benefits in appreciation for the gift of your time and expertise.
