Volunteering means being willing to help people in need and make contributions to the society for no financial rewards. Needless to say, volunteering is of tremendous benefits to both those in need and the society. Yet, despite the fact that volunteers are not paid for what they have done, serving as a volunteer, I believe, is also beneficial to the volunteers themselves.
First, volunteering helps volunteers improve their interpersonal skills. They can understand people better and have better skills to motivate others and to deal with difficult situations in collaboration with people of different personalities in their volunteering work.
Besides, volunteering serves as a good opportunity for volunteers to apply their knowledge to practical problems. This is especially useful for student volunteers. For instance, students volunteering to assist foreign guests on big occasions can not only practice their oral English but also have the first-hand experience on the latest development of their field.
Finally, volunteering satisfies one's psychological need for respect and self-fulfillment, and it gives the volunteer a sense of achievement.
In a word, volunteering helps to improve one's interpersonal skills, apply one's knowledge to practice, and give the volunteer a sense of self-fulfillment. It is of great benefits to the society, but it benefits the volunteers even greater.

Hello, Hanyao! I'm Alice. I really like your topic. Being a volunteer not only can help others, but improve our own confidence. Although we are students, we could do some easy things. For example, going to the nursing home to accompany the elder or fundraising the money to orphanage.

回复删除You mentioned some obvious advantages that volunteers can easily sense them. Though I might say, being a volunteer, you have yourself enough guts and compassion as well as other characteristics accompanying. Though we choose different paths to follow, in my perspective, humanity still exists in this cruel world, and one of them is volunteering. A good post, indeed. Looking forward to your next post~
