Many Faces of Volunteering
Finding Your Niche!
Volunteering isn’t one-size-fits-all. There are countless ways to contribute, depending on your skills and interests. The act of volunteering is like throwing a pebble into a pond—the ripples spread far and wide. Each hour you dedicate can spark change, uplift spirits, and transform lives, including your own!
Did you know that volunteering can boost your health?
Studies have shown that those who volunteer have lower mortality rates, greater functional ability, and lower rates of depression later in life than those who don’t volunteer. The social interaction involved in volunteer work improves mental and emotional health, reduces stress and helps against anxiety and depression.
Volunteering can be a powerful journey of self-discovery.
It places you in situations where you can navigate new challenges, leading to enhanced self-esteem and confidence. Whether you’re mastering a new tool at a community garden or learning the ropes of event management during a fundraiser, the skills you develop are transferable and can enhance your professional life.
"Volunteering has given me a sense of connection and belonging. It's a regular activity for a few hours a week and gets me out of the house. I love helping with the fundraising activities."
