NORTEC Volunteering ... The Benefits of Volunteering
Volunteering offers fantastic opportunities for the volunteer to develop new skills and work experience, friendships and networks, confidence and training. Volunteers provide community organisations with much needed support and contribute greatly to their community. Many volunteers gain employment out of their placements while others find new passion and focus in their lives.
