Volunteering: Why Do It?

Everyone volunteers for different reasons.

For example:

• To build confidence and self esteem. Volunteering can help you do things you thought you couldn’t – even things you thought weren’t possible!
• To make new friends. Volunteering can help youmix with new people who are into the same things, forming new friends on the way.
• To make a difference. Upset that there is nothing for young people to do in your community? Talk to a local youth worker and make a difference!
• To improve your chances of getting a job. Volunteering on your CV is something employers will respect and may give you another stepping stone towards your dream job.
• To gain new skills. Something you’ve always wanted to do? Then go for it and gain valuable skills along the way

Millennium Volunteers (MV) is aimed at young people aged 16-24. As an MV you volunteer your time to help others by doing something you enjoy.
