VOLUNTEERING is a great way to support(支持) an organization and make a difference in your community(社团). It can also be a great chance to meet new people and learn new skills. But how to volunteer? Here are some useful ways for beginners.
Think about why you want to volunteer.
Do you want to help the world or your community? Do you want to build your own skills, make new friends, or learn? Do you love what you do? Think about these kinds of questions. That can help you to choose your volunteer work.
Start small.
If you already have a busy school life, volunteer your time for an hour or two a week, or perhaps one day a month. You might find out how much you can do in even a little bit of time. Then, if you find you enjoy the work and have more time to do it, take on more time by time.
Get training.
If there is a training course, attend(参加) it. If not, talk to the group leaders and other volunteers about their experiences. You'll pick up some good tips to make your work there better.
