Volunteers are people that offer to work for pride not for a monetary reward. Some volunteers may be working as a volunteer, to increase their chances to get work, whether it is part-time, casual, or full-time.
Other volunteers will offer their time to benefit the community, especially in the work they do. Without volunteers, Australia would not function properly. There are a lot of industries and businesses that rely on the support of volunteers: Charities, religions, Community radio stations, politicians when running for elections, job experience trials, members of community groups, and various other occupations - where you work in a place where you think your career job would be. And if it doesn't work, you try elsewhere. I do believe employers should not take advantage of volunteers but reward them in their own way, even by saying at least, 'Thank you'.
I tend to not hear employers take on people for job experiences, much today because of company's insurance issues - where the employee paid or not paid must be covered under Workplace Health & Safety Regulations and Acts.
For me, volunteering is not about me, it's about having pride in what I do and how others may be happy, with the volunteering I do.
Volunteers can make a better place for the community to live in or even just by beautifying it. Cleaning streets, roads, or our very own waterways and country through 'Cleanup Australia'. Volunteers are important to themselves and to the people and businesses they work for. They make a vital mark in our wonderful society.
So, celebrate your National Volunteers Week from today, if you are a volunteer and hold your head up, be proud!
