What's Right for Me?

You may make an instant decision to volunteer in your community. But don't be hasty in selecting a project or organization. First, take time to think about what problems or issues in your neighborhood or community concern you. Then, as you search for the right volunteer activity, ask yourself:

- How much time do I have to commit?
- What talents or skills do I offer?
- What do I want to get out of my involvement?
- Will I enjoy this type of service?

There are many reasons to volunteer. But one should be universal - volunteer for something you can enjoy. Don't limit your thinking. You may want to volunteer in the
structured environment of a large organization, or you may prefer the more informal family feeling of a smaller group. Perhaps you want to create your own volunteer activity by engaging your friends or family, or maybe just work alone on a project.

When you've selected or narrowed your volunteer interests, you may want to talk to your parents, friends, a teacher or club sponsor, or counselor. They might have suggestions on how to go about making it happen. Call organizations and local government offices that offer services to the public. Read your local newspaper. Watch and listen to the television and radio news for ideas. Look online for volunteer opportunity databases.

After you've made a choice, commit yourself to it. Give it your energy - and adequate time - to determine if it's a good fit.
