Volunteering is a great way for people, regardless of their age, cultural background, location or circumstances, to get involved in the community.
But we are all different and may want to volunteer for different reasons. Some of us get involved for charitable reasons, some to meet new people or some to learn new skills.
Apart from the satisfaction of helping out your sporting community, there can be heaps of reasons why you should volunteer. Here's just a few:
- Meet new people and make new friends
- To give back to, or get involved in, my community
- Experience new challenges
- To model involvement and giving back to your kids
- Develop personal and/or professional networks
- Learn new skills or gain experience in a variety of roles
Research has also found a significant connection between volunteering and good health with reports showing that volunteers have:
- Longer lives
- Lower rates of depression
- Less incidence of heart disease
- Higher functional ability.
