Top 6 tips to volunteer wisely
1. Research the causes or issues that are important.
​
Research organizations that might catch your eye or that works with issues that you feel strongly about. If you don't find an existing program that helps with issues that you feel strongly about , you can start one yourself!
2. Consider the skills you have to offer
​
Make a list of things you feel that are your strengths/skills. Many volunteer organizations look for volunteers who are familiar with the projects the position would be handling. If you have a skill that is connected to some of the projects that are going to be dealt with in the program, it may be a perfect fit!
3. Would you like to learn something new?
​
​
Maybe you want to gain a new skill or exposure to a new situation. Consider looking into volunteer programs that you'll learn something new. Lots of programs are seeking volunteers who are not afraid to learn something new. Although this may be a time/work commitment you will have a new skill by the end of the program.
4.Combine your goals
​
Seek volunteer opportunities that will help you achieve other goals in your life. If you are thinking of becoming a teacher consider finding a volunteer program that works with younger kids and teaching them new things. Even before you can actually get a job you can volunteer and put that as work experience on your resume.
5. Don't over commit to your schedule
