Commitments And Responsibilities
If you think that you would like to volunteer, here are some things to consider...
- How much time can you spare for volunteering? Remember your other commitments (family, hobbies, employment)
and don't over-commit yourself.
- If you are unemployed, which day do you sign on and how much time do you spend looking for work?
- Are your circumstances likely to change in the near future?
- What period of time can you commit to volunteering? Eg. one day? One month? Six months? Some voluntary
projects require you to stay for a minimum period of time, so check before you decide on a project.
- How much time do you wish to commit to volunteering? E.g. one day a month, one day a week, more or less?
- What time(s) of the day are you free? Morning? Afternoon? Evening.
- What days of the week are you free?
- Do you need to arrange child care?
- Do you have your own transport? If not, is it easy for you to use public transport?
