How will I manage my time?
The following questions should help you to focus on what you would like to do and the time you have to offer:
- How much time can you spare for volunteering?
- Are your circumstances likely to change in the near future?
- What period of time can you commit to volunteering? For example, one day? A month? Six months?
- Some voluntary projects require you to stay for a minimum period of time, so do check before you decide on a project.
- How much time do you wish to commit to volunteering? For example, one day a month, one hour a week, more than this or less?
- What times of the day are you free? Morning? Afternoon?
- What days of the week are you free?
What other factors should I take into account?
- In what ways do you feel you can best contribute?
- What are your particular skills and interests? What do you really enjoy doing?
- Do you prefer to work with people or not?
- If you prefer working with people, is this on a one-to-one basis or in groups?
- Do you prefer to do something practical i.e. with your hands?
- Would you prefer to do something you have already done, utilising skills you have already acquired, or would you prefer the challenge of doing something new?
- What skills and interests do you already possess?
- Many everyday skills are useful when volunteering. Make sure you don’t overlook skills such as writing letters, decorating, talking, listening, DIY, driving, reading, shopping, sport, leisure and outdoor activities, entertainment, gardening etc.
- If you want to work with people, have you identified a particular group of people with whom you would like to work? For example, children under 10 years of age; young people; families; etc.
