Women often enter volunteer roles out of a desire to give back. What’s often overlooked is the profound personal benefit. Volunteering provides women a rare space that isn’t defined by family or workplace roles; a space to lead, learn, grow, try new things and contribute on their own terms. It fosters self-discovery, confidence, and identity outside of caregiving or productivity.
