Passion for giving back
Everyone benefits from volunteering their time to non profit or charity organisations.
Volunteers are essential to charitable organisations and they would not function without them. Whatever you give, you will receive ten fold in return. It's character building especially for young people and gives everyone a sound purpose in life.
It is now an incredibly useful pathway into employment and gaining valuable experience. I know employers who specifically look for volunteer work on CVs as it shows a great deal about the applicant they'd like to employ in their company.
"My grandparents instilled in me that desire to give back to my community, that it was my duty and I would be a better person for it. I like to think they were right."
