Volunteers statement or story
By helping others in need, you take the focus off your own problems, putting into perspective how precious having a healthy, fulfilled life really is.
Volunteering presents a proactive way of doing something to make the world a better place. Even the smallest gestures make a difference. And if we all band together, those small gestures can add up to a big change!
Through volunteer work, you may overcome the personal challenges of leaving your comfort zone and doing something new with people you may not know.
Volunteering may boost your self-esteem and self-confidence. When you do something, you feel is worthwhile and valuable for your community, it gives you a sense of accomplishment that may help you feel more fulfilled about your life and any future goals.
