brightfuture Volunteers:
contribute to the goals of the organization
experience the many benefits of volunteering including gaining skills and experience in leadership, teamwork, planning, and project implementation

The role of each volunteer depends on their current skills and experience, as well as their interests and future goals.

Fundraising projects can help volunteers gain experience in leadership, strategic planning, budgeting, marketing and public relations, graphic design, and risk management.

Volunteers can also combine their skills and interests to assist with program development and implementation, to provide capacity-building workshops for brightfuture team members, and a wide range of other tasks.

We are currently looking for volunteers to fill out an application and help fundraise. Some indiviudals choose to fundraise for an event, such as a race or marathon. Others may simply ask friends, relatives, or businesses for a donation. Brightfuture also needs volunteers to conduct outreach activities and business professionals to provide consultation.

Donating your time and money has a meaningful, positive impact on the lives of others, but did you know that it can have many benefits for you too?

The benefits of volunteering are many:
Learn or develop new skills: Volunteering provides the opportunity to develop the team work and goal setting skills employers desire.
Health Benefits: A recent research review has found a significant connection between volunteering and good health. The report shows that volunteers have greater longevity, higher functional ability, lower rates of depression and less incidence of heart disease.

Be part of something larger than yourself: Often volunteering creates energy and sense of fulfillment. This can carry over to other areas of life, can help relieve work tensions, and can foster new perspectives for old situations.
Boost your resume and career options: Volunteering shows you are ambitious and enthusiastic, that you take your work seriously, and are interested in keeping your skills honed.
New interests and hobbies: Volunteering around a personal interest or hobby can be fun, relaxing, and energizing. Sometimes we need a break in our routine, or an opportunity to create a balance in our lives.
Explore Options: Volunteering can help you expand your horizons and explore new career options, as well as strengthen your personal/professional mission and vision Volunteering can also enhance cultural awareness and provide the opportunity to learn about different perspectives.
Practical Experiences: Volunteering allows you to practice skills in a relatively risk free environment. It offers you the opportunity build your self-confidence through practice, observe others and select best practices and gain valuable personal skills like patience and tolerance.
Networking and meeting a diverse range of people: Volunteering offers incredible networking opportunities with other ambitious leaders. You not only develop personal friends and professional relationships, but you can also hear about job openings, gather insider employment information and develop great references.
Leadership: Volunteering can create leaders. Working in volunteer settings will help you learn strategic thinking, change management, and conflict resolution skills. As a volunteer you set an example for your friends, family, employer, or colleagues.
