When I look at my career path, often a paid job or promotion came out of my volunteering. Now that is not why I volunteered, but it certainly led to a positive outcome.
You just never know where your volunteering will take you and also you get to learn, at the organization’s expense, what you want and don’t want to do. I received extensive training with each of the agencies I volunteered with, and you can always benefit from this learning experience.
Apart from anything else, it feels good to help others and gives you perspective on other people’s lives.
How do you find volunteer opportunities? Check out the United Way’s Volunteer Portal. And at Rotary, we are always looking for volunteers to help with Tour de Guelph on June 22 and at Ribfest on August 22-24.
