Volunteering offers numerous benefits for both the participant and those they serve. For the participant, it provides a sense of purpose, skill development, and the opportunity to build connections within the community. It also enhances mental well-being by fostering a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. For the recipients, volunteers can offer essential support, help fill resource gaps, and bring fresh perspectives, ultimately improving the quality of services and initiatives. The broader community benefits from strengthened social bonds and a collective effort toward positive change. The following is a list of my previous volunteering endeavors:
