How have volunteer experiences benefitted you professionally? For me, it’s fulfilling to serve alongside my work colleagues. Volunteering has been a crucial platform to practice and enhance my skills outside the realms of my regular work. It’s allowed me to gain a broader perspective, and, more importantly, it has forged invaluable connections with individuals across diverse fields, enriching my professional network. The takeaway is clear: never underestimate the power of giving back. It feeds your professional growth in ways you can’t imagine.

🌟 Embracing the Power of Recharge: My Summer Volunteering Experience 🌄⛺ This summer I stepped away from my usual routine and embarked on a journey. #volunteering at the summer camp for children organized by Zveza prijateljev mladine Maribor (ZPM) was more than just an opportunity to give back; it was a chance to hit the reset button, reconnect and find a sense of greater purpose. 🍀🌻 The camp I enjoyed as a child and volunteered at during my university years has been serving its purpose for more than 35 years. This summer I have had again the privilege of contributing to an environment where children could learn, play and grow together. ✨ The laughter of children, the warmth of the sun and the beauty of nature became my daily companions. 🌼🌞 This experience showed me again how important it's to take breaks. It's clear that by doing so, we can find a deeper appreciation for the world around us and return with a new perspective and energy. 💫💪 As I return to my daily tasks, I carry with me the valuable lessons I learned from this summer adventure. ✅ The simplicity of life: interacting with children reminds us of the innocence, wonder and simplicity of life. ✅ Empathy and patience: Children often have unique needs and require patience and understanding. ✅ Joy and Fulfillment: Helping children learn and grow can bring immense joy and fulfillment. ✅ Caring for the next generation can leave a lasting legacy. It's a way to contribute to the future of society. ✅ Personalgrowth: working with children can challenge us to grow personally. It often requires us to step out of our comfort zone and develop new skills. ✅ Bonding: Building strong relationships with children can provide a deep sense of connection and purpose in life. Clearly, sometimes the best way to move forward is to take a step back and embrace the energy from a purposeful, fulfilling endeavor. Here's to a summer well spent and a heart full of gratitude! 🙏🌞 👀Have you had experience volunteering ?

🌟Reflecting on My Volunteering Journey with ADORE🌟 I’m thrilled to share that I have completed my volunteering journey with ADORE, and what an incredible time it has been! Since March, I have conducted sessions for children in various homes connected with ADORE. Initially, I faced a significant challenge: a language barrier that made it difficult to connect with the children I was teaching. Some children even requested another volunteer. However, as time passed, they began to take an interest in my classes and started to engage more actively. This experience taught me the importance of patience and perseverance in overcoming initial hurdles. Being part of the webinar organizing team was an enriching experience, teaching me the intricacies of event management and giving me the exciting opportunity to host a webinar. This significantly boosted my confidence and enhanced my public speaking skills. I felt more connected and supported with my teammates, learning the value of effective communication and teamwork. ADORE also organized webinars for volunteers on valuable topics. These sessions have been a game-changer for my personal and professional development. Throughout this journey with ADORE, I’ve learned how to manage my time effectively, communicate professionally, and boost my overall confidence. Interacting with introverts during center calling has been particularly rewarding, enriching my communication skills. I am excited to apply these learnings and continue to grow both personally and professionally! 🌟 #volunteering #adore #personalgrowth #learning #networking
