Why should I volunteer?

Why volunteering?

Volunteering will allow you to not only make a difference in the lives of others but it can also help yourself. Not only this, but according to Time Bank (2009), 84% of people responsible for hiring agree that volunteering is a great way to help people find work, with an astounding 80% of employers value volunteering on a CV. From health benefits to social experience, volunteering can help combat depression, help understand people better, help to deal with difficult situations and improve physical fitness! Volunteering helps you to become more integrated into your community, as well as gain confidence, make a difference, meet people, learn new skills and take on a new challenge in a safe and forgiving environment.
