The Value Often Overlooked in Volunteering

July 4, 2025

When you give your time to volunteer, it's easy to focus on the impact, often though what is overlooked is that volunteering builds you too! Whether you're volunteering with a company, group, or individually volunteering, valuable skills relating to leadership, time management, creativity, and communication are built and strengthened every time you give back. When you volunteer, you’re not just giving back to your community. You are also investing in your own growth, learning to adapt and solve problems creatively, all while working with people from diverse backgrounds. 

These experiences build confidence, expand your network, and even open doors to new opportunities, both personally and professionally. So the next time you sign up to volunteer, remember: the impact goes both ways! Many volunteers find that what starts as a one time event becomes a meaningful part of their lives. You may discover a cause you're passionate about or even a calling.
