The virtue of VOLUNTEERING

THE BENEFITS

Volunteering is beneficial, not just for those on the receiving end, but also for those using their time to help others. The bonuses include being a part of a community, learning new skills, and combating any feelings of isolation.

Carole Schlessinger, cofounder of Kids Giving Back – an organisation that provides age-appropriate volunteering opportunities – explains that in children, helping others is a great way to develop a deeper sense of self.

“Creating volunteering opportunities for young people is a proactive approach to providing our youth with some answers in their search for meaning, as they develop a commitment to society and understand their role in making a difference,” she says.

It also does wonders for building empathy.
