Top Questions to Ask Before You Volunteer

Volunteering in a different country can be

a great opportunity to give back to the

community. Before stepping out from your

comfort zone you have to consider some

important questions. We have come up

with a list of questions before starting

your volunteer search. These questions

will help you to figure out the right

volunteering opportunity which suits you

the most to gain life time experience.

What are my skills?

“The more you give, the more you'll get.” Volunteering can be a great way to use your existing skill or to learn something new. However, not all volunteering positions require special skills or knowledge. The majority of voluntary work requires skills like a good listener, positive attitude and friendly nature. When volunteering overseas, don’t just volunteer your skills or muscles, apply the things you are most passionate about and want to keep getting better at.

How much time do I have?

How much time can you devote to

volunteering? For what duration? "Be

honest about your time availability.

Remember that any time – if it's

valuable time – is better than

unrealistic time promises." - Camara

Jordan

Before any commitment to a cause,

think realistically about when you can

volunteer or how much time you can

give?

Do I want to work alone, or with a group?

Would you like to work alone or work

with other volunteers? The choice is

yours before accepting a voluntary

position that suits you the most. If you

are a team player or want to meet new

people, group volunteering will play a

vital role for you.

What’s your budget for Volunteering?

The budget for your volunteering purpose

is completely depends on your duration

and destination for volunteering. If you

are planning for a short term volunteer

project in your local area then you need

not to plan as early but long term

volunteer abroad projects should be plan

as early as possible. You can go through

with fund raising techniques or websites

like “fund my travel” to make your

volunteering well organized.

Where would you like to go?

After deciding the above parameters you should consider where you want to

volunteer. Getting the right fit destination means finding the lifetime experience.

What is the best time to Volunteer?

The best time to volunteer abroad is all the

time. Anyone at any age, of any color, of any

sex of any profession can contribute

positively to build a better society. Gap years

and Summer breaks are good time for

students to explore uncharted realms. Taking

a break from career and routine work life can

lead to breaking of tedium and rejuvenating

experience. Retired people or couples often

take trips abroad to help out those in need.

Why pay for Volunteering Abroad?

For someone, who is willing to give back to

the society or want to serve humanity it’s

natural to ask: “why should I pay for

volunteering?” However, one should

remember that volunteering abroad

involved pre-departure and on-arrival

briefings, language training,

accommodation, local transportation, food,

program monitoring and 27 x 7 emergency

supports etc.
