Volunteer your time

The benefits of volunteering are very gratifying. The organization that I volunteer with is Junior Achievement at www.ja.org which uses hands-on experiences to help young people understand the economics of life. In partnership with business and educators, Junior Achievement brings the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential. I am currently teaching a program called “Careers with a Purpose” in which students learn to use ethical decision-making skills to make career and life decisions. They discover that their career can have a noble purpose by reviewing their values and life maxims. I encourage anyone in our industry to do some form of volunteering. Aside from the many benefits to those recipients you are providing your time and service to there are also many networking opportunities that await you. Give it a try and seek out some local volunteer programs in your area.
