Why Volunteer?
Here are some of the things that volunteering can do for you:
- Give your CV a boost – In a recent survey of some of the UK’s leading businesses, 73%* said they’d employ someone who’s volunteered over someone who hasn’t.
- Get back into work – It’s a great way to get a reference and fill gaps in your work experience.
- Feel Good – Volunteering does wonders for your mind, body and spirit. Especially if you’re feeling isolated or out on a limb after a big change, like a redundancy, say, or change of relationship.
- Improve your confidence – You’ll learn and do things that you might not normally get the chance to – this can be a real confidence boost.
- Improve your health – While you’re busy giving back to your community you could also be getting healthier! Research has found that volunteering can do everything from helping you to sleep better to boosting your immune system.
- Meet new people – You’ll probably meet people from different cultures and backgrounds that you might not normally. Volunteering with people who are as passionate about a cause as you are is a great way to meet like-minded people.
- Loyalty and Commitment – Volunteering shows loyalty and commitment to EGA which can lead to you becoming an employed coach receiving a salary for your brilliant work and efforts within the club.
