Hello, @flakydudu, I am happy you brought up this issue, thank you and I hope you would allow me leverage on your initiative as it is my passion as well.

Hi, @aisha, I am also interested in this kind of job especially one with a career prospect as a community development worker. I am particularly interested in thematic areas such as environment, poverty alleviation and social enterprenuership. If you can assist, I would be willing to work in Lagos because I am presently studying for a higher degree here. Thanx

 
I like to work in the area of Youth, women, teenagers and gender issues
Come on who says you can't make a lot of money working with NGO, there are some that pays better than the best of banks and they give you exposure you can't imagine

 Thanks 4 d info. My name is Ebele residing in lagos, i have a passion for helping the youths and women i would love to work with an ngo that deals with this two sectors my e-mail add is ebelec_ng@yahoo.com.gsm no 08038370144

Aisha, its good you cleared the air about having the passion for the job at hand and not the pay.  I'm always passionate about the cause of women, especially abused and battered women.  However, i have no idea on how to volunteer.  I reside now in Abuja and would be much obliged if i'm connected to any NGO.  I had a two weeks internship programme with an NGO called Constitutional Rights Projects(CRP).  It's a very good NGO, because they are passionate about educating, not only the public, but the legislators and police force about the rule of law and supremacy of the constitution.  They also help in law suits involving human rights.  I wouldn't exchange those two weeks for any thing.  So if there's any voluntary work, even in your NGO, please let me know.  MY number is 08059160606 and my email is zyka4real@yahoo.com. Keep up the good work[/font][font=Lucida Sans Unicode]

Hello all,

Its so nice to see the number of people that are willing to volunteer their services for free. It is not easy at all when you do not have the passion for it. I had to volunteer and was trained during my NYSC as a Peer Educator Trainer under UNICEF. After the first six months, my report was so impressive that I was called to Owerri for a refresher-training course to enable me train Corps members to be PETs.

Before service however, I worked with the youth federation for world peace at the Peace Embassy at Wuse 2 in Abuja. I would however, like to continue this service but I also require contacts of reputable NGOs where I can volunteer my services. Mt addy is davejanna@hotmail.com and my phone number is 08035908598. Thanks

well,i think its actually interesting to see a lot of people vot e to work with NGO's,but point of notice.

i hope its not for financial gains?because if it is,u'll be dazed.i work with an NGO, and for real it could be frustrating when you see your pay and if you do have to travel milws to get to your home or work everyday,but its the passion that will definitely get you going.

Now for volunteers,it is known that no salary is paid,but you could get stipends for transportation.

well, the joyful thing in all these,is that you know that you are affecting lives for good,never expecting gains in return,though it may come on the long run.

For those who actually want to start somewhere,there are a lot of NGOs,orphanages included,where you could share your love with others.

I am about to start with an orphanage myself,despite where i am.
One love!
