Volunteering and Employability

While we often focus on the good that volunteering does for recipients of service, there is increasing evidence that volunteering benetifts volunteers, too.

This is of particular interest for those working with disadvantaged populations for whom the act of volunteering may prove crucial to social mobility and inclusion. In this issue of Along the Web, we’ll look at a variety of resources and guides that discuss the connections between volunteering and employability.
