Tips on Volunteering Wisely 🦉

1. Give voice to your heart through your giving and volunteering!
Bring your heart and your sense of humor to your volunteer service, along with your enthusiastic spirit, which in itself is a priceless gift. What you'll get back will be immeasurable!

2. I never thought of that!
Many community groups are looking for volunteers, and some may not have occurred to you. Most of us know that hospitals, libraries, and churches use volunteers for a great deal of their work.

3. Virtual volunteering?
Yes, there is such a thing! If you have computer access and the necessary skills, some organizations now offer the opportunity to do volunteer work over the computer.

4. Consider volunteering as a family.
Think about looking for a volunteer opportunity suitable for parents and children to do together, or for a husband and wife to take on as a team.

5. Nonprofits may have questions, too.
While most nonprofits are eager to find volunteer help, they have to be careful when accepting the services you offer.

Hello.
Goodafternoon.
Do u know how best i can get employed in a radio station?
joywendy:
Good day Everyone.

Over the past two years, I have involved myself in volunteer work with nonprofit and Non-Governmental organizations. It hasn’t been an easy task, it takes a lot of dedication, resilience and passion.

Due to the nature of the kind of society we are, it is hard for anyone to imagine working on their own free will without any monetary compensation.

People have asked me, “why do you work so hard for an organization that won't even pay you (payment in this context refers to money).”

Initially, this got me upset and over time I understood that it wasn't really their fault. Most people have not fully grasped the idea of volunteering especially in Nigeria.

Anyways, I have gained a lot of networks, friends, improved my skills this short period and I will keep volunteering till my last breathe. smiley

I noticed that there are no particular threads on nairaland that focuses on Volunteering opportunities. So I will be posting opportunities here for people to sign up to.

Also if you have volunteering opportunities you can also post here.

Please while posting ensure to have the following.
1. Details of the organization( what they do)
2. Link to the website or social media of the organization.
3. State location. If it is remotely state that too.
4. Method of application for the volunteer role
5. You can also state what the volunteers are needed for.

About the volunteering, i will like to know the difference between voluteering and internship?

1. Any of the options can be applied depending on the Radio stations.

2. An internship is essentially a work experience you choose to do that will help develop your skills in a profession. Its main goal is to help you gain valuable work experience and help polish your CV better for future opportunities.

Volunteering on the other hand is somewhat similar but what differs the two is the motive behind it. The driving force behind volunteering is that you purely want to help out whereas for an internship you feel like it is a necessity to have on the CV. With volunteering you “voluntarily” give your time and energy to help a cause.

a. Sometimes, some organization's might not have slots for intern's but might be willing to accept volunteers, such that if their is any openings in the organization they could be on the priority list.

b. Internships are usually paid whereas volunteering opportunities(sometimes) are not.

c. Both are great additions to have on your CV’s. Recruiters always appreciate those who have valuable experience (done through internships or volunteering)
