It's not easy to be your own cheerleader.  Finding ways to recognize your own accomplishments can be challenging, but after putting in the effort to find a volunteer role, working hard and meeting your commitments, it's important to pat yourself on the back for your accomplishments.

Activity

Here are some ideas on how to acknowledge what you have achieved:

  • Utilize social media platforms to showcase your experiences. Share notable moments from your volunteer role and ensure to mention or tag your organization or supervisor. Engage with fellow volunteers from Royal Roads University by using the hashtag #royalroadsuniversity.
  • Incorporate your volunteer experience into your academic coursework. Inform your instructor about the valuable skills and knowledge you've gained that relate to your course. Highlight how this experience enriches your academic learning.
  • Explore how your volunteer work aligns with any course reflection requirements. Emphasize the key learning outcomes you've attained and how they contribute to your personal and professional development.
  • Expand your professional network by connecting with staff and other volunteers on LinkedIn. This allows you to maintain valuable connections and potentially discover new opportunities in your field of interest.
