What are some tips to getting started as a volunteer?
If you are interested in volunteering,
but aren't sure where to begin, try asking yourself the following
questions to determine what kind of volunteer opportunities will be best
suited to you:
- If you had all the human and financial
resources in the world, what problem would you solve, what would you
change or what would you create? Your answer will tell you what
matters the most to you.
- What kind of time commitment are you
willing to make? Are you looking for a regular / weekly volunteer
commitment or a short-term / one-time opportunity?
- Would you like to volunteer with other
people or by yourself?
- Would you like to volunteer from your
own home or would you prefer to volunteer at an organization?
- If you would like to volunteer away
from home, where is the best location for you? Near your home, your
work or your child's day care?
- Do you have specific skills or talents
you would like to share with an organization?
- Would you like to develop a specific
skill?
What are your personal goals? Would you like to re-enter the
workforce? Meet new people?
The answers to these questions will
provide you with an outline of your volunteer expectations. Join with OIDA
