Community Service is a great way to develop a helpful professional and personal support network. The expression “it is who you know that counts” actually means something and what it means is we like to work with people we know and trust. Besides benefiting the community, community service benefits the volunteer by:
- Adding an interesting addition to your resume – it tells potential employers that you have enough on the ball to volunteer
- It sets a good example for others including family members
- It establishes a “directory” of people – names, addresses and phone numbers who may be able to help you in your career.
- It generates passion – and passion is attractive – imagine that person you know who is always excited about something – we want to be around them, right?
- It is fuel – a body in motion tends to stay in motion. Keeping busy keeps us occupied with positive activities.
