Republic Act 9418 otherwise known as “Volunteer Act of 2007”

-This act was also enacted to provide a policy framework on

volunteerism that underscores the fundamental principles necessary
to harness and harmonize the broad and diverse efforts of the
voluntary sector into an integrative and effective partnership for
local and international.

What is Volunteerism?

Volunteerism is doing something which has a positive impact in

society without having any expectation for the reward. We can also
define volunteerism as the rule of donating time and energy for the
welfare of people in the community as a serious responsibility rather
than for any material or financial reward.

“Volunteer” refers to an individual or group who for reasons arising

from their socio-developmental, business and corporate orientation,
commitment or conviction, contribute time, service and resources
whether on full-time or part time basis to a just and essential social
development cause, mission or endeavor in the belief that their
activity is mutually meaningful and beneficial to public interest as
well as to themselves.

Benefits of Volunteering

Benefit 1: Volunteering connects you to others.

One of the more well-known benefits of volunteering is the impact

on the community. Volunteering allows you to connect to your
community and make it a better place.
Benefit 2: Volunteering is good for your mind and body.

Volunteering provides many benefits to both mental and physical

health.

• Volunteering combats depression.

• Volunteering makes you happy.
• Volunteering increases self-confidence.
• Volunteering provides a sense of purpose.
• Volunteering helps you stay physically healthy.

Benefit 3: Volunteering can advance your career.

If you’re considering a new career, volunteering can help you get

experience in your area of interest and meet people in the field.

Benefit 4: Volunteering brings fun and fulfillment to your life.

Volunteering is a fun and easy way to explore your interests and

passions. Doing volunteer work, you find meaningful and interesting
can be a relaxing, energizing escape from your day-to-day routine of
work, school, or family commitments.
