Why is that ask? …

Top 5 Reasons Why Volunteering is Going to Be Your Best Experience This Year!

Reason 5:

Hello 2010 and hello fast forwarding… volunteering is so much more these days than it ever was before. People are not just lending a hand here or there, they are immersing themselves in new cultures and new languages in order to help out a worthy cause. We are not only volunteering in select countries around the world for two weeks at a time but we are combining our travel times, vacations, and day to day life with volunteer experiences! If there has ever been a time to volunteer, it is now!

Reason 4:

Volunteering is important to your career. Employers are not just looking for employees with education but they are looking for employees with real life experiences, problem solving experiences, adaptation experiences, and language experience. There is so much competition in the work place today and extra activities such as volunteer experience in another country is part of CV of those people getting hired. The world just suffered a economic melt down, it is 2010 and things are finally looking up, a volunteer experience will help you get that job you have been searching for this year!

Reason 3:

You don’t have to spend much money to get yourself across the globe and into a new country and culture this year. Believe it or not, prices for flights have stabilized if not gone down from what they were two years ago. Volunteer abroad and don’t break the bank!

Reason 2:

You know there are many organizations that need help, for example environmental organizations (global warming) and now is the perfect time to lend a hand before it is too late! Snow in Florida this year, warm days in Toronto? Global warming is winning and 2010 is the lock and load year for people realizing it and doing something about it!

Reason 1:

The number one reason why volunteering abroad is going to be your best experience this year is because volunteering abroad is one of the best experiences of all time and is not soon forgotten. Go to a new country, learn a new language, meet new people, and really live your life. Gain both personal and professional experience that will take you places in the future.
