Volunteering makes a big difference to the community and has many benefits, to the organisation you are helping and to yourself!
It isn't always easy, but the benefits make it worthwhile and there are opportunities to suit everyone.
Recently, I volunteered for a day of tree planting with Conservation Volunteers Australia. I spent a whole day working my butt off, mulching and pushing wheel barrows of soil back and forth. At the end of the day, I had connected with a bunch of amazing people, learnt some practical skills, spent a whole day outdoors soaking up the vitamin D (something I don't tend to find the time for these days) and I knew that I had made a difference.
Volunteeering is a great way to get valuable experience in a new industry, an excellent way to connect to the community and meet new people and good way to build the karma bank!
