Top 7 Reasons Why Sampoorn Jan Shakti N.G.O Will Help You Get Ahead The following report focuses on the benefits that can be gained by volunteers. The goal of the report is not to undermine the importance of volunteering for altruistic reasons, but rather to highlight the mutually beneficial nature of volunteering and inspire people from all walks of life to step up to the challenge of volunteering. In addition, when volunteers recognize how they can benefit from their experience, a sense of shared power and purpose is created between host communities and volunteers.

Benefit 7: Improve college admission chances Colleges and universities increasingly look for candidates with life experience and travel experience. They value students who have taken a year out but are increasingly demanding as to how you choose to use your time out. Heath (2004) states that there are good gap years and bad gap years, with young people expected to justify the manner in which they spend their time (p.14). Volunteering overseas is perceived by universities as a ‘productive’ way to spend at least part of a year out due to the opportunities provided to step outside your comfort zone, mature, broaden horizons and consider career options.
