Have
you ever considered volunteering? And do you want to know how to volunteer? If
so, please follow the three steps before you enjoy it.
◆Pick
an organization. You're likely to be happier and volunteer
longer at an organization that supports a cause (事业)
you care about. For example, if you're interested in animal welfare, maybe you
want to volunteer at an animal shelter. Much like job search sites, you can
also use volunteer websites like Volunteer Match or Serve. gov to help you find
volunteer opportunities in your area. If you still can't narrow down where you
want to volunteer, start asking people you know where they volunteer.
◆Know
what you can offer. First identify your sill. For example, you could volunteer
to write something for local nonprofits (非营利组织)
if writing is your style. You
need to be sure how much time you can give to an organization based on your
other arrangements. If you try to do too much, you're more likely to give up.
◆Treat the application (申请) like a job. Spend some time preparing for the interview, much as
you would go for a job interview. It is also a time for you to measure whether
the organization is suitable for you. Ask what's expected of volunteers. Start volunteering slowly. That is, it's better
to try just a little bit of time at first to see if you like volunteering at
the organization.
A. Apply and get started.
B. Be willing to improve your
own ability.
C. Then do remember to go
over your weekly schedule.
D. You should focus on the causes
that make you interested in.
E. You may find one of them
has the perfect opportunity for you.
F. First search for the best
organization nearby, and then decide what to offer.
G. For example, volunteers at
a museum may be expected to learn parts of the galleries.
