Finding your path

What is Volunteering, Actually?

Volunteering means giving your time and energy to help others without getting paid. It’s about making a positive impact in your community or somewhere else in the world. According to the United Nations Volunteers, it’s “an activity undertaken freely by individuals to benefit others, the community, or the environment, without financial gain.”

Volunteering comes in different forms:

Community Development: Working with local groups to solve neighbourhood problems

Humanitarian Work: Helping people during crises or disasters
