Hello Friends!
Well I am still not 100% on the direction that I plan to take with this blog,but tonight I wanted to write about volunteering? What is the true value behind it?
Right now I am personally involved with 2 separate volunteer organizations, which I hope to gain friendships and business contacts from. This is generally why a lot of people tend to start getting involved with organizations. So i do hope to build my client base so there is definite value there!
I also think that there is value that I can bring to other people. Whether it be being a friend or a business contact for them. More value!
Then there is doing good for the community! If you get involved there is always work to be done, with different events that each organization hosts or is a part of. Hopefully the work you do will bring a smile to someone's friend, or bring friends together creating memories. This is definitely indirect value, but none the less value.
And then there is value for the organization! Does the activity create revenue? Does it increase the presence in the community? Either way there is added value.
I personally do not know anyone that would argue with the point that helping out others is satisfying. with that being said, why do people not get involved more often? It makes you feel good, and as shown above, there is added value to more than just yourself!
If you have an hour a week or month or year! get out and get involved! You never know who you will meet, or who will be happy you helped!
If you ever have any suggested topics or input, I would be more than happy to hear them from you!
