Volunteering has helped me to integrate into Australian culture, expand my knowledge and feel I belong here. I have been participating in different volunteer programs to support, learn and contribute to the community over the last 5 years. To celebrate National Volunteer Week, I’ll be sharing some of the lessons I learned from 400 hours of volunteering as a city ambassador at the City of Melbourne. 💡 Expanded Local Knowledge Each volunteer shift brought new opportunities to work with different volunteers and spark different conversations. This allowed me to get to know more about Melbourne from the locals and fellow volunteers. 🙌 Embracing diversity One of the most enriching aspects of volunteering as a city ambassador has been celebrating the diversity of cultures of people who visit our city. Each encounter provided an opportunity to learn about different perspectives, fostering a deeper appreciation for the world’s rich tapestry of cultures. 😀 Simple smile goes along the way To greet someone with a smile is the simple act of kindness we all can express. 🎤 Enhancing Communication Skills Being on the street or at different events, I have communicated with people from different walks of life. This helped me to become a better communicator. ☘ Commitment is not easy, but the rewards are greater When I learned that the minimum commitment for the volunteer role was 12 months, I was a bit hesitant. However, by taking each week as it goes, and showing up for each shift, I learned the value of commitment. With commitment, the depth of relationship with other volunteers went deeper along with a greater volume of knowledge and experience gained. If you are volunteering somewhere like me, let me know what have you learned from your experience. #volunteer #NVW2024 #somethingforeveryone #volunteerexperience

𝙌𝙪𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙒𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙩? Volunteer. No pressure to perform. Your contribution will get noticed. Making others feel good makes you feel good. Volunteering is also great for personal and professional growth: 1. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸: Puts you in contact with people from various backgrounds and industries. You meet people who share your passions and values, making it easier to connect authentically. These connections can lead to friendships and even opportunities down the line. 2. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: When you volunteer, you showcase your skills and dedication outside of your professional realm, leaving a positive impression on those around you. People notice your commitment and integrity, which can boost your reputation as a reliable and altruistic individual. 3. 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: Stepping into unfamiliar territory without work pressure is like hitting the confidence gym. As you contribute your time and talents, you gain a sense of accomplishment and purpose. You might even discover hidden strengths and abilities you never knew you had. Volunteering can be time consuming, but it doesn’t have to be. Offering a few hours periodically can go a long way. Here’s some examples: ➡ Fixing or painting equipment at the local playground ➡ Picking up rubbish with a dedicated team ➡ Weeding a local community garden ➡ Doing odd jobs like mowing lawns for the elderly ➡ Offering to help promote or physically set up for a community event Volunteer your time and change lives, maybe even yours. #ShowingUp #ReachingOut #BuildingCommunity
