Organizations
Volunteering gives people the opportunity to identify more closely with groups they are connected with, while getting involved in the local community. It is important for leaders in organizations to understand the benefits of volunteering and the impact volunteering has on both the organization and the community when group members are encouraged to get involved.
Joining Extreme Community Makeover for a Work Day incorporates volunteerism into your organization, while providing the following benefits:
Build a stronger group. Volunteering as a group creates camaraderie and boosts morale by working toward a common goal.
Learn about local communities. Getting involved in projects beyond one’s back door broadens knowledge of other people and places throughout the city.
Strengthen group connections. Volunteering as a team can build deeper relationships.
Generate a sense of purpose. Spending time serving others provides a chance to focus on someone or something else.
