Why You Need Volunteer Jobs
For those who have been made redundant and may otherwise have to claim benefits, full-time voluntary positions can even mean they will be better off.
While they may not all include such splendid accommodation, many voluntary jobs offer free meals or allow volunteers to claim a food allowance. Others also cover travel expenses and give volunteers a weekly allowance for essentials such as toiletries. These all-inclusive packages can make it a lot easier for volunteers without savings to give up a few months, or a year, particularly if they are otherwise struggling to find paid work.
The real perk is having free training in things like tractor driving and pesticides. Otherwise you will have to pay for it and may find it difficult. Even though you are not earning a salary, you get free lodgings and gain experience working in the field you want to spend your career in.
