Volunteering is an activity that affords you an opportunity to donate your time and talent to your community or an organization of interest to you. It can be a rewarding experience when you make an intelligent choice about where to focus your interest. Here are some suggestions to help you have a meaningful volunteer experience —
• Search for volunteer opportunities in organizations or on projects with commitments to success.
• Avoid volunteering on projects that do not place obligations on participants.
• Avoid volunteering for work where you would normally expect to be paid unless it is pro bono or part of an income producing strategy.
• Free advice may not be taken seriously.
• Overestimating the benefits of volunteering can lead to frustration and disappointment.
• Volunteer effort is influenced by perceived and tangible outcomes.
• Stop volunteering when you lose your enthusiasm.
