Volunteerism

Why is it important to do volunteer work?

 
Volunteer work provides organizations with a free resource to help meet their mission. It helps fill the gap between an individual and the resources of the community. 

Some volunteerism benefits individuals while other types of volunteerism benefit a broader base of people or community needs. 

Volunteerism benefits the recipient as well as the volunteer, as most volunteers donate time and/or resources to support causes or needs that they are passionate about supporting. 

Volunteering doesn’t need to consume all of a person’s free time. Many times an hour here or two hours there is as appreciated and needed as much as a larger time commitment. 

Volunteer work is also an important part of a resume. It helps to show community support and a willingness to work. If you aren’t currently a volunteer, try it out. You may find it a very enjoyable experience.
