If there is one thing I enjoy doing among other things, it's VOLUNTEERING!
Volunteering has exposed me to a lot of things including networking opportunities, increased my social and relationship skills and lots more.
The truth is, you don't have to wait for that big-cash-rewarding-job before you start getting engaged, you can set the path for your career, or set the path for your fulfillment by volunteering.
Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer. Volunteering and helping others can help you reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose. While it’s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you’ll experience, volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day.
BENEFITS OF VOLUNTEERING
*It increases your social and relationship skills
* It helps you develop a solid support system
* It increases your self-confidence, makes you happy and helps you combat depression because you get to relate with people.
*You stand the chance to gain career experience, and offers you the chance to try out a new career without making a long-term commitment
* Volunteering provides a sense of purpose, brings you fun and fulfilment.
To Get Started, you could ask yourself some questions like:
What do I want?
Do I want to make it better around my society?
Do I want to meet people who are different from me?
Do I want to do something new or just get something to do at my spare time?
Do I want to do something I'm good at?
Do I want to see a different way of life?
To volunteer, match your personality with your interest.
