Helpful Hints for Volunteering
Here are few simple tips to keep in mind as you begin to explore the wonderful world of volunteering. Remember our staff is available to help you at any step along the way!
- Be realistic and clear about the amount of time you can commit. It is easier to start small and increase your commitment than to have to back out because your schedule is overwhelming you.
- Visit us before committing yourself. Get a sense of the staff and peopleyou will be working with and an overall feel for the environment.
- Find out about the our purpose and how your role as a volunteer fits into that mission. Sometimes what may seem an insignificant contribution to you makes all the difference to the people you are assisting.
- Ask for a job description of your volunteer work. It helps you decide if the work is an appropriate fit for you, and it provides a set of standards or expectations when you do volunteer.
- Ask about training and supervision. If we are asking you to perform a task, will we provide the support necessary for you to be successful?
- Volunteering is an opportunity for personal growth. Don't be reluctant to request an evaluation of the work that you perform or a letter of recommendation, should you decide to list your volunteer service on a school or job application.
- Enthusiasm is key. If you are not excited about the program, the chances are that you are not going to be thrilled with giving up time in your day to go there.
- Go for it! You get out of your volunteer work what you put into it. Volunteering requires no special degree or prior experience; it's simply a willingness to help.
