The Rewards of Volunteering

Volunteering for FISH

The rewards of volunteering are many, and extend far beyond the good feeling you get from helping others. Volunteer expert Susan J. Ellis of Energize, Inc. explains that, over time, many people may find themselves on both sides of a volunteer exchange. For example, a senior may be a volunteer tutor at a local school and also benefit from volunteer transportation services during the winter months. This kind of mutual assistance is one of many great reasons to volunteer. Here are some others:

 

Make a difference in someone else’s life.

Learn about your community.

Develop leadership skills.

Keep active.

Make new friends.

Enhance your resume.

Explore a possible career.

Start a family tradition.

Take on a new challenge.

Become a change agent.

Pass on a skill you've mastered.

Share your enthusiasm for a cause or belief.

Be a valued part of a team.

Help create the kind of community you want.

 

You may have your own personal reasons to add to this list. If you would like to share them with the Town of Manchester staff and the people who visit this site, click here to e-mail us. Let us know if we can use your name and the name of the organization where you volunteer.
