Purposeful volunteering
Effective volunteering starts with a real need and a clear role
Volunteers can strengthen an organization by contributing specialized knowledge, community connections, professional experience and practical support.
A useful volunteer role should have a defined purpose, responsibilities, supervisor, expected commitment and clear limits of authority.
