The act of freely giving your time, resources, skills and energy to benefit others is known as volunteering. Engaging in volunteer opportunities brings you some level of satisfaction and a sense of purpose. Other benefits of volunteering include: # Building your social skills # Making new friends # Advancing your career and # Learning new skills. Try volunteering if you are unemployed and job hunting. It's a fulfilling altruistic act. Have you ever volunteered for community benefits? How did it make you feel? Would you do it again if an opportunity presents? #thegraciousdoc #volunteering #healtheducation

ARE YOU A VOLUNTEER??? This isn't a yes or no question unless you already know the technicalities involved in being a volunteer. After thorough thinking on how to convey the message of volunteering, I came up with the idea of doing collaborative work which is between Leader Uche Anyasie and me. We are volunteers in different capacities and we have those volunteering with us, hence, that has given us enough words to tell you. This isn't the regular content you get anywhere, anytime, or any day, it is specially packaged for future makers like you. Do you want this?

Communication is essential for engaging and informing volunteers. At our organization, we ensure regular and effective communication with our volunteers through various channels and methods. Coincidently after an event on 5th September 2024, I happened to bump into 3 volunteers when they were having lunch at Changi City Point. It's always a pleasure to reconnect with volunteers outside of their volunteering hours. I also took the opportunity to update them on our next upcoming volunteering opportunities to join us when they are available. Volunteering connects you with like-minded people who share your values and passion. It's a great way to meet new friends and expand your network. So why not make time for volunteering? Even a few hours can create a ripple effect of positivity vibes for the community. #volunteerengagement #effectivecommunication #volunteers

Struggling to recruit volunteers due to their busy work schedules? You’re not alone! 49% of people say work commitments are their biggest barrier to volunteering which can make it hard for you to recruit new support. Fortunately, many companies are now offering Volunteer Time Off (VTO) programs to empower their employees to give back to the community. These programs make it even easier for you to recruit and retain volunteer support. The key to making the most of these programs is spreading awareness. Many potential volunteers might not realize they’re eligible for VTO. By highlighting these opportunities, you can boost participation and turn work schedules into volunteer opportunities. 👉Access our Ultimate Guide to VTO to learn the best ways to maximize supporter participation in these programs: https://hubs.la/Q02NphWf0 #VolunteerTimeOff #Volunteering
