If you've never volunteered before, now is a good a time as any to give it a shot!

There is a wide range of options to satisfy your inner good Samaritan; volunteer positions which can be done as a one off, on going, close to home or in another city. From planting trees to reading newspapers to the elderly to designing a website, you're bound to find something that you enjoy and can absorb into your current lifestyle.



To get you even more eager to elevate yourself to 'volunteer' status, I've popped below some extra, enticing reasons to get involved:
It is free to do.
Teaches you new skills and gives you first hand experiences.
Gives back to the community.
It's a way to meet new people.
It boosts your self esteem as well as tickles your other good feelings.
You can still get involved if you're a student, a retiree, have restricted mobility or are only in Australia on holiday.
It looks great on your resume.
There's so much choice.
It's time out of your busy schedule that can still feel like time out.
It can provide a great platform for networking and job prospects.

Many organisations recruit their volunteers via the internet and there are lots of great sites for helping you find something to suit you and the time your able to give.

Some good ones to check out that encompass a wide variety of roles and organisations are:

www.volunteer.vic.gov.au
www.govolunteer.com.au
www.probonoaustralia.com.au
www.melbournecitymission.org.au (only over 18's for this one)

So chip in, enlist your skills and services, lend a helping hand if you can. Once you realise how easy it is to do and the benefits for all involved - you'll be hooked.
