Volunteering is a powerful learning experience that helps students of all ages grow into capable, compassionate and community-minded individuals.

It is an act of service for which you would not be paid and such acts of giving of one's time and effort, nurture empathy and compassion and it can also make the child feel good about him or herself.

Volunteering can improve skills such as collaboration, communication and critical thinking which are key contributors to academic success.

 

The experiences from volunteering can also build confidence and good habits that can benefit schools, communities and homes.

It is a good idea to get children involved in volunteering from young ages.

In Barbados, animal shelters usually offer volunteer opportunities for children and they are actually good places for children to learn about caring, sharing and putting others before self.
