Motywacje wolontariuszy: sens, więź ze społecznością i dobór formy działania

Dzisiaj Nika ma dla Was kolejnych kilka słów o wolontariuszach! 🥰

Hi Dears!

It’s time to talk about other important aspect of “V.” 😎

What comes to mind when you hear the word “Volunteer?” Ask yourself, no need to search in Wikipedia. Maybe volunteer is “a person who expresses a willingness to undertake a service” or something similar?

You volunteer because you want to make this world a bit better place. You understand that you are helping. You see that your time is worth it. You believe that you are capable of make change. In some way, large or small, you are capable of doing good. You do not volunteer for the pursuit of a monetary prize or recognition. Social responsibility and emphaty are often driving forces when it comes to volunteerism.
When you volunteer, you are making connections. You are connected with the community. You are connected with the problem as well as the solution. You are connected to a process – a process in which you believe. Through your actions and involvement, you are benefitting others as well as yourself.🥰

After all, you are freely giving your time to someone or something larger than yourself. Below are a few things to consider when trying to decide on the type of volunteer work that is right for you. 😍

✅ Find a Passion
Is there a cause that excites you? Is there something happening in your local community or overseas that breaks your heart? Find something that evokes an emotional response within you. Identify your goals and interests. Awaken your passions and your heart by volunteering for something that is meaningful to you. In the dawn of the digital age, you can easily find ways to help a cause that is far from home (by the way, it is a good idea for #useful_quarantine).

✅ Consider Your Talents
What special skills or talents do you bring to the table? Are you a strong communicator? Do you work well with your hands? Are you creative? Do you like to study laws and policies? Consider if you want to use the same skill set you use during the workday when you volunteer. Perhaps you want to go in a completely different direction and it’s totally normal!

✅ Honor the Commitment
Volunteers are busy people. They often have jobs, families and obligations to tend to. You are volunteering on your own time, but be sure to not overextend yourself to the extent that you will let someone down or not fulfill expectations. Do something that matters. You are choosing to use time to work for something meaningful for you.

Being a volunteer means that even the smallest gestures are making a difference. So get out there and help to make the world a little brighter and kinder.

Decide what being a volunteer means to you and run with it!
