Volunteers

 

 

Volunteering is time willingly given to help others.

 

This might happen informally – such as babysitting for a family member or helping a neighbor with their garden – or formally as part of a community group or not-for-profit organization.

 

Volunteering can involve a regular rostered time commitment, occasional weekends for special events, or emergency response call outs.

 

Volunteering has many benefits. It gives people self-confidence and satisfaction, social contact, the ability to use previously established skills or develop new ones, a chance to pursue passions, and a possible start to paid employment.

 

The connections you make while volunteering helps you to build healthy relationships, and can lead to the development of a solid support base of people who value you and your contribution.


Volunteering provides the chance for you to learn new things, while also sharing the skills that you bring with you. All this can lead to improved self-esteem and confidence, as well as a greater sense of achievement and purpose.
