Did you know? Youths who volunteer regularly are more likely to achieve personal development and career success. Volunteering not only helps build essential skills like leadership, communication, and teamwork, but it also creates valuable networks and opportunities. If you're looking to grow personally and professionally, consider giving back through service. It's a win for both you and your community! #Volunteering #YouthEmpowerment #PersonalDevelopment #CareerSuccess #TheHiveNetworkAfrica #Leadership #TheHiveNetwork

Day 2 of volunteering… Observing the children push themselves out of their comfort zones, letting go of the wall on their decent, planning, problem solving as they ascent has got me thinking about the possibilities of future talent development initiatives and leadership initiatives… The outcome, every single child push themselves in some way, many beaming faces and increased confidence. Not one of them said, “oh that was easy.” It’s been a gentle reminder that being pushed outside of your comfort zone is more often than not a really good thing, even though at the time it doesn’t always feel that way. What activities have you done personally or professionally that have pushed you outside of your comfort zone? What was the end result?
