10 Great Reasons to Volunteer

Volunteering is—in one word—amazing.

Volunteering allows us to make a positive difference in the lives of others, our community, and even the world.

That warm feeling you get when playing card games with a senior citizen or helping clean the park is irreplaceable. It makes us feel good inside.

That's why volunteering is a win-win situation. Not only are you making the life of someone else better, but also at the same time, when you volunteer, you are improving your own life.

Here are 10 great reasons to volunteer.

1. To meet new people.
2. To improve your community.
3. To develop your passions.
4. Volunteering promotes personal growth.
5. To gain interesting experiences.
6. To make a difference.
7. To learn something new.
8. To build your resume.
9. To give back.
10. To help a cause that's important to you.
