Progressive Volunteers

Some tend to look at volunteering as a sort of free service. Others consider it as something for the unemployed to do while looking for work.  Naturally, I consider such people a tad hard-headed and hard-hearted, but I had my doubts before joining Progressive Volunteers. Was I being naive?  I mean what am I really going to get out of this?After my volunteering stint  and, after giving it some thought, I came up with a small list of how I personally benefited.   These, you should note, are taken from my experience; your milleage may vary.  

Volunteering can lead to important contacts

I have always had the urge to put my skills to good use.  I didn't know exactly how I was going to do that, but I figured that by volunteering I would get a clearer picture. I do have to say that so far the volunteer experience has been one of a kind. I have met incredible people and gotten a chance to network through different platforms and events. My self- confidence also grew and I developed better social skills since I regularly met with groups of like-minded people with shared interests.
