When looking at the benefits of something like Volunteer teaching I believe it is best to start where I like to start every day with fun and fulfilment and how volunteering can bring these into your life. Doing volunteering that we find interesting and meaningful can provide an escape from our day to day commitments like school, work and family as well as being very relaxing and can leave your feeling energised. This sense of renewed motivation and creativity can spill over into other aspects of your life be it your professional life or personal life leading to an overwhelming sense of fulfilment. A really great benefit which leads on from the previously mentioned is all that is required to volunteer is positivity and passion so a wonderful circle can start to form. While learning some new skills can be beneficial to many, it's not a requirement for a volunteering experience which is fulfilling. A positive attitude, a willingness to do what ever is needed and plenty of compassion are your best tools when volunteering. We can call these first few benefits, benefits for the mind and body as they can increase self confidence, self esteem and life satisfaction and as you are doing well for the community it brings with it a natural sense of accomplishment. This type of benefit can also combat depression by cutting down on social isolation. The cherry on the cake is that it can also keep you physically fit and healthy. Now let's look at how volunteering can advance your career, whether you are looking to start a new career or not volunteering can provide a great deal of experience and teach you some brilliant new skills such as team work, communication, task management, organisation and problem solving and you could even look at it like a trial if you are thinking about starting a new career, this method lets you see if it really for you or not. On top of the skills and experience you will gain you will also have a chance to meet people and make networking contacts which can be a huge benefit as they say its not what you know but who you know. Also having these extra volunteer teaching positions on your C.V can impress employers with your ambition and candidates who volunteer stand out in a positive way because their passion and involvement with the community is evident. These volunteer teaching positions can fill in employment gaps at the same time as building your profession. After we have had a brief look at the benefits of body and mind and the benefits to your career another exciting topic is travel, volunteer teaching work can take you all around the world from Asia to the Americas, from Africa to Europe, the possibilities are endless.
