Why Volunteer?

At GoVolHerts we understand that finding the time to volunteer can be a challenge. However, the benefits of volunteering can be huge! We know that volunteering can make a significant difference to the lives of Hertfordshire residents, but the benefits can be even greater for you! Volunteering can help you to find friends, connect with the community, learn new skills, or enhance your career. It can also improve your health and wellbeing. Whether you’re interested in a long-term role or simply helping out as a one-off activity, GoVolHerts can help you to discover your ideal opportunity.

Volunteering Can Lead to a Job You Love!

Volunteers say they love the feeling they're making a real difference and giving back to the community through their volunteering. They also enjoy their role, make friends and learn, alongside many other benefits.


For some, it's also the route into a wonderful new career! The skills and experience you gain in a volunteer role can prepare you for new work activities, create connections and open up professional opportunities. Read more.
