Volunteering is great for the soul - Real Mum story on MoM

11 Comments

2 weeks ago I became a volunteer for the Endeavour Foundation. I am loving it.
I have struggled finding paid work that will compliment my studies, so I decided on volunteering and it just so happened that the perfect position was available for me. I had no idea how much they really needed me! I am receiving so much exposure into my chosen field for my career, that I am so overwhelmed, but excited at the same time. I feel great knowing that I can help out in a place where I am needed.
Volunteering is not just for those that no longer work or are older, anyone can do it. A few hours each week is mostly all that they ask….though I will be doing a couple days a week to get as much experience as I can.
Volunteering is best decision that I have made in a very long time.

So glad you found something you love.

I too agree that it is very rewarding and sometimes hard work. If it weren’t for volunteers many things would not get done.

Volunteering can lead to paid work if you show dedication as well, especially if you’re a SAHM and have been out of the work force for awhile.

Our granddaughter’s school has encouraged grandparents that have more free time to help out at their school as most parents work. It is rewarding too!
