Ten Tips for Volunteers
- Know what you want out of volunteering. You can volunteer in order to promote a cause, advance your career, meet new friends, gain recognition, or simply enjoy the personal satisfaction that comes from helping others.
- Check the time it takes to do a particular volunteer job. How does the time commitment fit your schedule and lifestyle.
- Think about your skills, interests, and life experiences and how they could be useful in a volunteer setting.
- Let your employer help. Many companies have corporate volunteer programs or referral services for volunteer opportunities.
- Keep your eyes and ears open when you're at schools, libraries, places of worship, hospitals, civic and arts events. They're all good places to find out about volunteer opportunities.
- Talk to the director of volunteers (most larger organizations have one) about your prospective job as a volunteer: training, hours, supervision, and mutual expectations.
- Be open and honest about your desire for meaningful and satisfying work and the need to have acceptance and respect of the staff.
- Be willing to give and take honest feedback in your volunteer job, and, when necessary, to be an advocate for change.
- Respect confidentiality in volunteer settings.
- Most important of all, bring your heart and your sense of humor to your volunteer service, along with the enthusiastic spirit which is, in itself, a priceless gift.
