Learn from Wiki: Volunteering

Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity, intended to promote good or

improve human quality of life. It is considered as serving the society through own interest,

personal skills or learning, which in return produces a feeling of self-worth and respect,instead of money. Volunteering is also famous for the skill development, to socialize and to

have fun. It is also intended to make contacts for possible employment or for a variety of

other reasons.

Volunteering takes many forms, and can be performed by anyone with own set of skills.

Many volunteers are specifically trained in the areas they work in, such as medicine,

education, or emergency rescue. Other volunteers serve on an as-needed basis, such as in

response to a natural disaster or for a beach-cleanup.
