Volunteering is as much a part of the human spirit as a smile.
It is paid with the currency of gratitude and self-satisfaction. It's where a job well-done truly is its own reward.
People choose to volunteer for a great variety of reasons; your reasons don't have to be purely altruistic. Susan J. Ellis of Energize, Inc., shows why it's beneficial to think of it more as an exchange. Most of us have times in our lives when we could really use a hand, so volunteering can be a way to either pay it back or pay it forward.
We can also be motivated by a desire to leave the world a better place than we found it or, at least, to help maintain something that we believe is valuable. And Helpguide.org says that volunteering is actually good for you!
Our hope is that "Voluntastic!" will help you to have fantastic outcomes with volunteering!
