What can you gain from sharing your skills with someone else?
The Challenge
Think of the three most useful skills you have that you could teach to someone else (bonus points if it can be taught over a video conference service). Spend 15 minutes researching volunteer opportunities in your area related to your skill set. Is there an organization that desperately needs a math tutor? A senior center that would love to have someone give an online tutorial in how to use Excel?
Why do this?
During these strange times, many of us are feeling less connected, less productive, and less sure of what our future holds. Volunteering is a way to enrich our own lives while also building up our community.
As a bonus, you never know what networking opportunities will come from the connections you make with the organization or the folks you meet through it.
What’s next?
Make it a goal to give at least one hour of your time this month to the most relevant volunteer opportunity you found.
