Three R’s to volunteering...
Responsibility - A great deal of responsibility goes into volunteering. The agency needs to know when they will be able to count on you to help. It is important to have good communication with both the volunteer agency and the volunteer program. All activities and responsibilities outlined in the contract between the agency and the volunteer must be followed.
Reward is found in knowing that you are making a difference in someone’s
life.
Recreation is found in choosing a volunteer site that interests you.
