Benefits
Every DICP volunteer gets something different from volunteering.
- Making a positive difference in someone’s life
- Improving self-confidence, self-esteem, and life satisfaction
- Building upon skills you already have and using them to benefit your community
- Fighting against feelings of helplessness and being overwhelmed
- Being able to see the impact your actions have on community members
- Gaining invaluable experience you can’t get anywhere else
I love the community at DICP – what they do, what they stand for and being a part of that. Interacting with people (even though I’m an introvert) is what I enjoy most about volunteering.
The staff treats the volunteers with such care and appreciation and any time you can come helps. They’re very flexible with volunteers’ schedules. There’s such a strong sense of community there. We laugh and who doesn’t need more of that in their lives?
