No, not necessarily. Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills while helping your community. It can keep you connected socially and possibly assist you in finding paid employment.
For example, 95% of our health care assistants have come from our volunteer workforce and 5% of nurses started out as volunteers. People from all walks of life have used volunteering as a step to finding their first or a new job.
