Which of the following is a benefit of volunteerism promoted by DECA?

Creating local networking opportunities is a key benefit of volunteerism promoted by DECA. When members engage in volunteer activities, they have the chance to connect with others in their community, including local business leaders, fellow students, and potential mentors. These connections can lead to valuable relationships that enhance personal and professional growth. Networking gained through volunteerism can provide access to job opportunities, internships, and guidance in career development, all of which are essential for students entering the workforce.

In addition, volunteerism fosters a sense of community and teamwork, as members collaborate to achieve common goals through service. This aspect not only builds strong relationships but also reinforces DECA’s mission of developing effective leaders and responsible citizens.
