Connecting Up Volunteers choose to volunteer with us (or with other non-profit organisations) for a variety of reasons, aside from the humanitarian desire to help their local community and make a difference which is common to all. Some participants find that volunteering assists their career, allowing them to gain new skills, knowledge and new experiences. Others find the social benefits become most important, the opportunity to meet new people, feel part of a team and to create networks and new connections.
