For almost every person there will be a time in their

life when they decide that they want to volunteer. There could be numerous reasons

why you want to start doing volunteering work – from retirement to plain old

fashioned good will. Different people may find different arguments in favour of doing this kind of work

or service, if I can put it this way. But how do you get into the world of

volunteering?

First of all, you need to make the time to volunteer

and before you can start approaching organizations and enquiring about

volunteering opportunities, you need to first figure out how much of your time

you can dedicate to volunteering. If you are working, then ask your employer if

you can have consistent weekdays off, so you can then have regular time to

volunteer each week. When you can promise a set amount of time to an

organization, then they are much more likely to offer you a volunteering

position. So think twice whether you can allocate enough time to this work

before you start, otherwise it can be very disappointing for both sides.

Next, it is time to think about why you want to

volunteer. This may sound obvious, but have a good long think about the reasons

why you are volunteering. Is it because you’re passionate about helping others?

Is it because you want to meet and spend time with new people? Or is it because

you want to gain further experience and qualifications? Knowing your motives

can help you decide which organizations and roles are best suited to your

wants. Mind there are more opportunities for volunteering than you might know

about or imagine.

the wish to be useful

the desire to socialize

the need to upgrade one’s skills

the need to get organized
