Get Rich by Giving Back

Imagine being able to do good and get rich at the same time. Volunteering provides an opportunity to become financially and emotionally richer while helping your community, the environment, and the world.

Volunteering incidentally leads to learning new skills and networking with people. By enhancing your resume with newfound skills and potentially landing new opportunities, you can become financially richer.

Becoming Financially Richer

Volunteer events bring together individuals of diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. You could be at a backpack distribution event filling bags of school supplies alongside the CEO of the sponsoring Fortune 500 company. You could be chatting with a single father of 6 picking up his family’s groceries from the local food pantry that you are serving at.

In either case, you are in the fortunate position to learn about what it takes to be a leader of a company, of a family. The CEO might recognize your hustle and giving nature, and she may even offer you an internship. The single father might be the owner of a small business and give you tips on how to best start your own.

Becoming Emotionally Richer

Beyond potentially making you financially richer, giving back can also make you emotionally richer. Giving back monetarily or with your time, in my opinion, is the right thing to do and feels great. The time spent helping others may brighten your mood and evoke happiness. The events are typically fun and free activities that connect you to your community and bring about a sense of gratitude.

If you are new to volunteerism, you may be wondering how to give back. Here is a list of some ways to give your time or money to a good cause.

Ways to Give Back to Your Community

Host a fundraising event

Work at a local fundraiser

Participate in a benefit walk/run

Volunteer at a food bank or pantry

Write letters to isolated elders

As I conclude this article, my hope is that even just one person feels inspired to do good, to do better, and to help others.
