In theory, volunteering should help with growth. I would love to say that volunteering has improved my social skills, and has helped me network with others.

I think in an ideal world I should be able to say that. This has prompted me to think about where I am expending my energy and time.

Presently I'm happy with one of two things I am putting my time and energy in to, it provides me with unique challenges, and should, in theory, allow me to improve my social skills and networking. Sadly the latter parts seem to require extra effort on my part, but I recognize that it /should/ be providing that opportunity.

The other... not so much.
