Not only do you help your community by volunteering your services, but you also help yourself by seeing new possibilities for your own future. Every skill you learn while volunteering can be carried over into your own professional or personal life.

Volunteering at a hospital can teach you skills you may need in an emergency. It will also teach you to have compassion toward the sick and elderly. Volunteering as a teacher’s assistant can teach you how to become a good or better teacher. Every community service teaches its volunteers new skills and expands their sphere of influence.

As a Black Belt, volunteering your services should be a part of your goal setting.
