1. It’s important to help others

2. Do something for profession/cause important to me

3. Feel compassion for others

4. Gain new perspectives

5. Explore my own strengths

Embrace micro-volunteering

Be motivational

Community

Professional development

Service to others

Be outcome focused

Think talent scout
