Benefits of Volunteering
There are numerous reasons why people choose to volunteer their time and skills:
Contribute to Your Community
Volunteering strengthens communities by addressing local needs. It helps create a sense of belonging and pride in the community, for example, complete an important one-off project, raise funds for the great work of a local organisation, or help with everyday running of a group.
Be the Difference
Volunteering allows you to use and develop your skills to help positively impact your community.
Personal Development
Volunteering can give you a new perspective and develop communication, leadership and teamwork skills. Volunteers also have free access to training on Tribe.
Build Connections
Volunteering exposes you to new people, often with a shared passion, and can build meaningful lasting friendships. Volunteering can also be a fantastic way to network in an area of interest.
Sense of Purpose
Volunteering can give you a sense of purpose and fulfilment by allowing you to use your time and talents to benefit others and the community.
Gain Experience
Volunteering can provide valuable experience that can enhance your CV and help you gain references. Tribe has seen several examples of people starting as volunteers and gaining employment with the organisation they volunteered for.
Health Benefits
Volunteers report better physical and mental health than non-volunteers. Research has shown volunteering leads to lower rates of anxiety and depression.
Ultimately, the decision to volunteer is a personal one, and the reasons for volunteering can vary widely among individuals. Whether it's about giving back, personal growth, or simply wanting to make a positive impact, volunteering can be a rewarding experience for both the volunteer and the community they serve.
