You make a difference 

Every person counts!

Volunteering
encourages civic
responsibility

Community service and volunteerism
are an investment in our community
and the people who live in it.

You get a chance
to give back

You learn a lot

Volunteers discover hidden talents
that may change their view of their 
self-worth and strengthen their self-esteem

Volunteers gain knowledge of available 
local resources that can solve
community needs.

Volunteering strengthens
your community by...

- Supporting families (daycare and eldercare)
- Improving schools (mentoring, tutoring, literacy)
- Supporting youth (mentoring and after-School 
   activity programmes)
- Beautifying the community (beach and park cleanups)

It promotes personal
growth and self-esteem

Understanding a community’s needs helps
to foster empathy and self-efficacy

It brings people together

Uniting people from diverse backgrounds,
building camaraderie and teamwork,
to work toward a common goal.

Volunteers gain
educational and
professional
experience

It's good for you…
