Volunteering connects you to others

One of the more well-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Even helping out with the smallest tasks can make a real difference in peoples lives. Volunteering is a two-way street: It can benefit you and your family as much as the cause you choose to help. Dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, expand your network, and boost your social skills.

2. Combat depression;
3. Improve overall happiness through social interaction and personal satisfaction;
4. Increase self confidence;

Volunteering can advance your career

If you’re considering a new career, volunteering can help you get experience in various facets of the tennis and sporting industry, and meet people in the field. Even if you’re not planning on changing careers, volunteering gives you the opportunity to practice important skills used in the workplace, such as teamwork, communication, problem solving, project planning, task management, and organisation. You might feel more comfortable stretching your wings at work once you’ve honed these skills in a volunteer position first.

Volunteering brings fun and fulfillment to your life
