What do you think about volunteering?
Do you know any volunteer? What kind of voluntary work did she/he do? What is your opinion about her/his experience?
Over the last few years, I have discovered that one of my favourite things to do in my free time is to volunteer. I have volunteered for a variety of different organisations and carried out a variety of different roles. These have included simple, everyday activities like taking dogs for walks at an animal rescue centre and running activities for children at an after-school club. But I have also volunteered for some more professional roles, like translating and managing a charity event.
However, no matter what kind of volunteering, I have always loved it and I would encourage others to give it a go. Here are my top four reasons why I think volunteering is so worthwhile.
1. It’s an opportunity to gain experience and skills.
By volunteering, you are carrying out a job – even though you’re not being paid – so you can gain valuable experience and skills which are likely to be useful in the future. For example, many volunteering roles will help you to gain experience in working as a team.
2. You can meet new people.
One of the best things about volunteering is meeting the other volunteers! They are likely to be very interesting and inspiring people and might just turn out to be great friends too.
3. It’s a way to gain confidence.
Many people who do voluntary work say that it has helped them to feel more confident in all sorts of ways. For example, I have always been quite a shy person, but my volunteering experience has helped me to gain confidence in talking to strangers and even in front of a crowd!
4. You can have lots of fun!
Doing an activity that you wouldn’t normally do, with like-minded people, should mean that you have a really fun time. You will also feel good knowing that you are doing something for a good cause.
These are just a few of the many reasons why I suggest that you look for volunteering opportunities in your local town or city. There are many different things that you can get involved with, and remember that any type of volunteering is good volunteering. If you like, you can start with something small and who knows what it will lead to! The most important thing to remember is that as well as helping others, you can get a great deal out of it too
I would like to volunteer at an orphanage. I would like to help children who have been deprived of their parent's love. It is a wonderful feeling to help that you can help people who do not have a life as good as ours
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd like to be a volunteer, but as i'd like to be a volunteer, i'd like to receive some kind of reward for beeing a volunteer too, and it necessarily doesn't have to be money, but it could be a recognisition medal, or some certificate for what I volunteered in. I'd like to volunteer in the area of teaching languages as I love languages and the action of teaching and sharing my knowledge with other people.
ReplyDeleteI would like to volunteer at a social lunchroom. I don't know why, cook, serve them, its something that i think it can be good.
ReplyDeleteI would be glad to do any type of volunteering if I had time to, I don't feel like I'd want any reward in exchange, the sadisfaction of helping other people would very likely be enough for me.
DeleteI would like to volunteer at an animal shelter. I think it would be kind of a hard task to do if we think about the risk of getting hurt by traumatized pets, but I would love to improve their lives in any way with my work.
ReplyDeleteLast year I worked as a volunteer in a primary school helping kids of 5è de Primària with their English. I was a language assistant, my job was to helpthe teacher and trying to make the kids speak English. I would love to do it again because I like teaching and I have fun with them.
ReplyDeleteI volunteered in a blood donation campaign 2 years ago, in my old high school. I'd also like to volunteer in anything related with environmental issues.

ReplyDeleteYes, with my scout group i was in the "gran recatpe".I was collecting at the entrance of the supermarkets that collaborated the "kilos" of food that people gave. It was very good and I would love to do it again
ReplyDeleteI would like to volunteer in open arms or a similar organization because I think it's so unfair that people are dying in the sea when they've done nothing wrong but running away from their home which is already hard enough, only because the governments don't want to help them.
ReplyDeleteAnother idea would be to go to another county and provide any kind of help to animals.
I would like to go to Africa and volunteer helping kids that really need help and try to make them happy. I would also like to help basketball coaches because sometimes there’s a lot of kids and I could help them to be more organized and less stressed.
ReplyDeleteI would like to donate money to charities, because I think that it's a really great and easy way to help and support important causes or issues that are happening in the world.
ReplyDeleteI would like to volunteer in another country, helping people who don't have money or food. I wish that i will help him teaching some basic things or cooking for the children...
ReplyDeleteI would like to volunteer in a ONG in Africa, Thailandia, India... With little kids that really need help. I would like to do this because I think that the kids are the most important thing in the world, and they deserve better than starving and having a hard time... For these reason I wold like to volunteer in a ONG.
ReplyDeleteI've already volunteered twice, though. The first time, in our school we created a blood donation for people of our neighborhood, and the second one was on an elderly people house.
ReplyDeleteYes i volunteer with my school at a eldery people house, we spent the time with them and we had a nice time. I also volunteer in a charity race with my friends.
ReplyDeleteI have never volunteered or at least I don't remember. I'd love to volunteer helping other people such as old persons or kids/families that need it. I'd like to clean the environment too, doing forest cleaning, beach cleaning or even sea cleaning.
