Volunteering allows students to get involved with new things and develop social and academic skills that couldn’t be learned in a classroom environment. 2.
Giving back and helping others
Volunteers create better environments for others; they create healthier communities and they brighten lives. Jill, a senior student, has been a volunteer in her community for more than three years.
3.“They always tell me how great we sound and how they wish they had taken time to learn an instrument in their youth.”
Creating connections with people
4.Not only does the volunteer work you do show who you are as a person, but it reflects many positive qualities that possibly employers and admission officers want to see. Volunteering allows you to meet a wide variety of people from all sorts of walks of life.
5.
Volunteering isn’t one of the most attractive jobs, but it is one of the most beneficial and up lifting(令人振奋的). It’s taking some time out of your day and helping others. Volunteer work makes us feel good. It builds self-confidence and lifts up the spirits.
