If
you are new to the work force, want to develop new skills, considering
a career change, or have been out of the job market for a long time,
consider volunteer work. The benefits of volunteering are
many: learn new skills through on-the-job training; flexible hours;
specialized training sessions; opportunities to meet people;
satisfaction of helping others; networking with community agencies; and
gain work experience.
For many people, volunteer service is a special source of personal
satisfaction and growth. Many agencies provide opportunities
for volunteers on the base. The Red Cross, Navy-Marine Corps
Relief Society, Military Affiliated Radio System (MARS), and the Fleet
and Family Support Programs are just a sample of agencies in need of
volunteers.
