Volunteering
Become a volunteer! It is rewarding, fun and a significant contribution to Cowichan Independent Living. As a volunteer you will have the opportunity to develop skills and areas of expertise that you can apply to other areas of your life. Volunteering is also a great way to make friends.
Experience gained from volunteering is a great addition to your resume, especially if you have only limited work experience. Other reasons for volunteering include:
We offer exciting opportunities for experience in a variety of positions -- indoors or out.
- CAREER: to build your resume; to develop skills or to learn new skills; to make career contacts
- ESTEEM: to feel better about yourself; to feel needed and feel like you are making a contribution
- SOCIAL: to act in a socially desired way (helping those less fortunate)
- VALUE: to allow you to act on deeply held beliefs about the importance of helping others
- PROTECTIVE: to relieve yourself of unpleasant feelings like loneliness and guilt
- UNDERSTANDING: to better understand the people and organization you serve; to better understand yourself
