Skills to aid a large variety of people along with improving my confidence. 

Would you recommend volunteering to anyone?

Yes because people will get something out of it and it is beneficial to myself and the people around. It also stops me from being bored.

To continue improving my skills and experience in an effort to gain a job in the similar role.
