Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer. While it’s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you’ll experience, volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day.

When I was 13 years old, I volunteered at a Women’s Domestic Abuse Shelter.

I had never volunteered prior to anywhere and was completely nervous to do so. At first, they had me in the back putting together pamphlets for the shelter. Eventually, I moved onto the kids’ playroom in front of the main building.

A couple of days into my new position, we had quite the scare at the shelter.

A man kicked in the front door to the office and made his way to my room demanding his children. He was screaming and had his hands in fists. All the kids ran to the back of the room and I stayed in front of them. Before I could react, the staff came in and told him they were on the phone with the police and he better leave. He huffed and puffed, but eventually left…the kids still were frightened behind me.

That wasn’t my rewarding experience there, though it was obviously my scariest. What was rewarding is what came after that.

I was told by one of the children, how that wasn’t the first time something like that had happened. And also how safe they felt at the shelter. And something just clicked in my head. See, I had volunteered there for a multitude of personal reasons. I also told myself I wouldn’t get attached to anyone there.

But, I did. After that incident, I wanted to help these kids (and women) feel less stressed. Feel normal. I wanted to make a difference more so than I had been. I wanted to be more open to this experience. And after that day, it wasn’t hard to do so.

I loved those kids. I loved seeing their faces when I read to them. I loved how open they became with me. I enjoyed putting on a bunny costume for Easter for them. I played with them. Fed them. And I loved how it made me feel.

Volunteering at that shelter was so rewarding and memorable.

It’s amazing how one person can make a difference in a child’s or another person’s life. No matter how big or small that difference is, it’s important I believe to try.

Yes, VOLUNTEERING is a great and powerful thing. Not only does it get you off the couch in order to do something positive with your time, but it can also have a pretty huge impact on your career and job search. You won’t regret it. I’d certainly do it again.
