Meet Karen, a volunteer with St John Ambulance Queensland sharing their journey for our ‘Share Your Story’ series.
A Journey of Enrichment
“I find volunteering to be an enriching experience in many aspects, particularly due to the cultural exchange it offers. Being from another country, it has allowed me to enhance my communication skills and improve my proficiency in a second language. Additionally, learning new techniques to handle various situations and conditions has been incredibly rewarding.”
Inspiring Others Through Compassion
“What inspires me the most is the opportunity to help people who might feel a bit lonely, especially older adults, and to contribute to their enjoyment and sense of support.”
Encouragement to Volunteer
“I would encourage anyone considering volunteering to go for it, as it provides immense personal growth and fulfillment. It’s a fantastic way to gain new skills, experience cultural exchange, and make a meaningful impact on others’ lives.”
The Rewards of Volunteering
“Whether you’re looking to improve your communication skills, learn new techniques, or simply offer support to those in need, volunteering can be a highly rewarding experience that benefits both you and those you help.”
