Research Points to Consider:

  • Are they in need of volunteers?
  • What do they need help with?
  • Are there age restrictions suitable for you/your group?
  • Is the location suitable for commuting from your location?
  • Is this on-going or one-time?

—————————————-

Requirement 2: See It!

Using your research, choose one or more locations to visit. Talk to the volunteer coordinator to find out if you are a good fit for them.

Discussion points:

  1. Do you need any special training?
  2. Do you need special tools?
  • Can you commit to the needs?
  • Are there specific dates/times that will work for you/your group?

Some Ideas:
