Volunteering
By doing voluntary work you are helping your career as a professional and your personal development. For young people with no experience, it’s also an excellent opportunity to find a job. What’s more, in many cases, the need to carry out projects with very limited resources and creativity helps to develop new skills.
With a constant increase in the number of unemployed people, volunteering can be a great opportunity to sign a contract with a Volunteering Organization.

Career benefits of volunteering
First contact with the world of work
For young people who haven’t yet had the chance to work, it’s a good way to enter the world of work and gain valuable experience. A few months’ volunteering is enough to make your CV stand out and maybe even make you stand out from other job applicants.
Developing skills
People who volunteer have characteristics that are highly valued by Human Resources departments, such as effort, empathy, leadership, self-motivation, problem-solving, effective communication and teamwork. These skills can be transferred to your professional career.
Increase your network of contacts
Working with other volunteers and supporting a cause makes it possible to expand your network of contacts, and these new contacts can be extremely useful.
Volunteers usually develop qualities that are appreciated in many companies, so if in doubt, don’t hesitate and embrace a new volunteering experience!
These connections can be valuable for future job opportunities or collaborations.
Practical experience
Volunteering allows you to gain practical experience in a specific field or sector, which can be particularly useful if you are trying to change careers or enter a new area.
Professional and personal growth
Some volunteer programs offer certifications and professional development opportunities that can enhance your career.
Volunteering also provides a great sense of personal fulfillment, which can increase your motivation and job satisfaction, making you more productive.
Preparing for interviews and improving your CV
Volunteering experience can be a highlight on your CV and a valuable source of examples for job interviews.
