To volunteer is to be a part of a team working together towards a common goal. It increases social interactions and it connects strangers in ways that can be life changing. Offering services to others enriches one's life, gives individuals a broader purpose, and is motivating. It inspires people to step outside of their comfort zone and to build new skills-two features that aid in developing one's self-esteem and confidence.
To volunteer is to build character, inspire passion, and to strengthen one's determination. It is informative in that it helps people identify and connect with their community and/or their community's insufficiencies. Humility is one of life’s best teachers. Giving back to the community and helping others improves the lives of everyone. It teaches selflessness, team building, and listening skills and is why I volunteer regularly.

This position functions under the direction of my local church leader to ensure that fellow leaders can communicate with each other and with the congregation. As the communication specialist I keep members informed about the church's schedule, upcoming events, resources, study materials, and/or any pending civil notices. This became especially important during the Covid-19 lockdown, as it kept members informed about and connected to a community of caring and familiar people.
