Why Should I Volunteer
What drives someone to selflessly dedicate time to helping a stranger, whether nearby or afar? The motivations behind volunteering are complex and varied. For some, it’s a way to give back to their community, repaying the benefits they’ve received. Others find it’s an intangible, feel-good experience. Regardless, volunteering can be a profoundly transformative journey.
Through service, individuals broaden their perspectives on people, community, and society. It clarifies their life’s purpose and fosters personal growth. At its core, volunteerism unites people of all ages to support those in need, addressing pressing social issues and enriching lives with kindness and compassion.
By donating their time to worthy causes, volunteers create meaningful change in their world, leaving a lasting impact.

Effect & Impact of Volunteerism
