Volunteering to manage my kid's youth sports team has been good for me. The quality of the kids' experience depends on it which is a good forcing function to stay on top of things. Unexpectedly, it's also been a way to build community and get families connected with each other. As an introvert with social anxiety I didn't plan for that part of it. It feels nice to hear words of appreciation from other parents and know that I'm making a difference, even if small. Being forced outside of my social comfort zone has been good for my personal growth. Especially after dealing with COVID related isolation for so long.
