Volunteering is an essential way to give back to the community. But why do volunteers often feel undervalued? Many organizations and programs depend on volunteers' hard work and dedication, yet when paid positions become available, volunteers are deemed unworthy. Despite being told they are "unreplaceable" or "dedicated and appreciated," volunteers are often asked to continue donating their time and efforts without compensation. This isn't the case in all situations, but it does happen. Volunteering is an excellent way to build your resume and do good for the soul. But when people start to feel taken advantage of, organizations and programs lose really amazing people. #volunteering #communityservice #nonprofits
