It is funny that a lot of young people think that the best way to amplify social impact is to start a Foundation or an organisation. True, there are pecks that come with titles like "CEO" as well as responsibilities. Over the past 7 years of growing in the social impact sector, the significant learnings, experience and impacts I have made were through volunteering. The problem is, we allow ourselves to get buried in the crowd of volunteers rather than leveraging the opportunity that volunteering provides. We forget to keep record of the work we have done and celebrate our wins, feats and milestones because we consider helping someone as intangible. We forget to tell our own unfiltered experiences while awaiting spotlight.
