If that's the goal, only a small subset of volunteer work is a good way to achieve it.
it's _a_ goal. it's not the only one.
And for the other goals, the statement holds: If in other contexts it would be a waste of your time, it's still going to be a waste of your time for you to do it.
unless, of course, handing out sandwiches or making beds up in a shelter opens one’s eyes.
then it’s the exact opposite of a waste.
