What is a skill(s) that you've picked up while volunteering? This week is International volunteer week and one way to gain skills is to volunteer. Skills-based volunteering allows the volunteer to share their skills with others they work with and gain experience by learning from others all while giving back to the community. There are benefits through sharing professional skills knowledge and getting exposure to processes and procedures that can help with future career development for the volunteers.
