Exploring the benefits of volunteering and building a sense of community at The Greenwoode Village
At The Greenwoode Village, we’re driven to instill a sense of community by bringing together people of all ages, sexes, and races in a shared, safe, and supportive environment.
Building a sense of community unites us. Over the centuries, particularly the last century, people as a whole have moved away from village life, living a more solitary existence within their circle of friends or colleagues but not embracing the community around them.
Being part of a community can make you feel as if you are part of something much more significant than just your own small world, something greater than simply ourselves. Not only does it allow you to achieve a sense of belonging, but it allows you to connect with other people, strive to achieve your goals, and grant you a sense of safety and security.
You’re never alone when you are part of a community.
Volunteering Drives Us Towards Something Bigger Than Ourselves
Regardless of where you’ve come from or where you’re going, The Greenwoode Village will help you through volunteering to instill a sense of community. Young or old, experienced or inexperienced, everyone is welcome into our collective.
At The Greenwoode Village, we provide education to the community through historically accurate representations of metalworking, archery, bow-making, pottery, and fletching.
While many of us strive forward as quickly as possible in life, we often forget the lessons from the past that helped us to get where we are. As society moves forward, too little of the past, including lessons we learned in the past, is brought forward with it.
The Benefits of Volunteering at The Greenwoode Village
The first question you’ll need to ask yourself before volunteering is what you hope to achieve from volunteering? Are you looking to simply give back to the community? Or are you hoping to achieve a greater sense of self? Regardless of why, volunteering comes with a long list of potential benefits.
The benefits of volunteering at The Greenwoode Village include:
Give you a greater sense of achievement, accomplishment, or purpose in life. If you feel as if you’re simply ‘existing’ and find yourself searching for something more, Volunteering could help fill that void.
It allows you to become part of a community, meet new people, make friends, grant you a sense of connectivity, and make you feel valued.
Help you to feel better about yourself by improving your communication skills and public speaking, and assist you to build up your confidence and self-esteem.
Allow you to not only share your talents and skills but help you to create a healthier work-life balance.
The additional sense of community may assist with mental health issues such as social isolation, depression, stress, and loneliness.
Along with the benefits of volunteering we mentioned above, volunteering at The Greenwoode Village can also provide several social benefits, including meeting new people, building relationships, and strengthening your ties to the community. It will also expose you to other people who share interests similar to yours.
The Impact of Giving Back
Volunteering is a vital way to stay in regular contact with the people around you and will assist you in building strong bonds and relationships within your community. It’s an essential step in helping you build a solid foundation in your life.
The Greenwoode Village is a non-profit organization that educates communities through living history and reenactments, pottery, archery, and craftsmanship. At The Greenwoode Village, we bring history to life while building solid foundations based on community and offer valuable hands-on learning for people of all ages from all walks of life.
