What inspired you to take up volunteering? “Volunteering felt like a great way to start my career. Without much experience or confidence, it gave me a safe space to learn and grow.” 2. Can you share a memorable volunteering experience? “It’s always the people. There’s a unique sense of teamwork and support when you’re all working towards the same goal.” 3. How has volunteering enriched your life? “My first volunteering experience gave me a sense of purpose. It showed me how my skills could be developed and put to use.” 4. What skills have you gained through volunteering? “At first, it was soft skills like building confidence, public speaking, leadership, and teamwork. Over time, it also helped me grow in areas like sales and marketing.” 5. How do you balance work and volunteering? “I’ve shifted towards quieter, nature-focused volunteering activities that fit into my weekends. But honestly, some weekends, it’s hard to leave the bed!” 6. What message would you share about volunteering? “Volunteering is a reminder that not all work is about material rewards. It’s about contributing to something bigger, whether at the start of your career or later on.” 7. What are your future volunteering goals? “Right now, I’m drawn to projects in nature or social causes. It feels good to take small steps toward creating balance in the world. But who knows? My priorities might change in a year!” Elmira’s story reminds us of the power of volunteering—not only to give back but also to grow personally and professionally.
