Volunteer opportunities may be something forced upon students in high school, but for those who partake in these opportunities regularly, it’s easy to know why someone would enjoy it so much. You’re able to give back to the community and see how just a small act of kindness can really help those in need. You are also able to broaden your sense of understanding when it comes to lives other than your own. You can see how other people live, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
For some, however, volunteering at the soup kitchen once a week isn’t enough; these individuals want to go out into the world and make a difference. These people are looking for treks that will take them into a whole new world, and simultaneously allow them to volunteer and connect with those that they are helping.
