Volunteering is the act of doing something willingly without expecting something in return. Meaning, it is an act where one decides to invest their time to serve a cause or just to make the community a better place. This requires a lot of time. One has to go through the process of preparation and understand the purpose of volunteering. Then he/she can go through the training. After that, the person is expected to spend a lot of time in the campaign as an experienced volunteer. Due to the hustle and bustle of the modern era, it has become difficult to do volunteering tasks. No matter how dedicated a person is, it is quite impossible for anyone to leave his/her job for a few months.

That's why to meet the demand of volunteers; organizations have come up with a solution that satisfies all. It is named as non-religious mission trips. These missions trips allow someone to do the required volunteering work with less commitment and helps the volunteers by giving them scope to work. These missions trips allow anyone to contribute to volunteering acts who don't have time like retiree persons.

The benefits of these non-religious mission trips are-

• It takes shorter time and commitment

• Gives an opportunity to work in different projects and explore many countries

• Know about different culture and community

• Meeting likeminded individuals

• Volunteering without sacrificing family or career or both

Nothing in the world is solely positive; there are some demerits too about these short mission trips. One will lose the opportunity to meet or connect with the organization and get the zest of the project due to the short span of time.

Still, the benefits of these mission trips outweigh its shortcomings because you will be making a difference. Though most organizations prefer long-time volunteers, short mission trips will at least ensure that there is no shortage of volunteers. Also, volunteers all around the world will provide an opportunity for interchange of ideas. Most over, choosing the right trip ensures that both the giver and receiver enjoys the time together which is the sole purpose of the volunteering
