The Value of Volunteering Workshop

Presented by; Diana O’Neill, Executive Director of the Long Island Volunteer Center on Wednesday, October 14 from 7:00 – 8:30pm at Girl Scouts of Nassau County located at 110 Ring Road West, Garden City, N.Y. 11530 (Roosevelt Field shopping center across the street from Grand Luxe Cafe and the movie theatre).

Volunteering can give you a competitive edge during these difficult economic times. You will acquire valuable, recent experience that you can use to update your resume. Although it can never take the place of paid work, volunteering can allow anyone to develop their existing skills or learn new ones; thus making them more marketable in today’s workplace.

The Long Island Volunteer Center, an affiliate of HandsOn Network, in partnership with Girl Scouts of Nassau County will present a free workshop on The Value of Volunteering.  While volunteers provide support to any organization, they also connect with prominent leaders in government, business and other nonprofits. It’s here, at the grassroots level, that volunteers build meaningful relationships with the kind of influencers who make introductions, offer worthwhile advice, write referrals, and yes, even hire.  Ways to access volunteer opportunities will be presented and the last half hour will be an optional one-on-one resume review.
