When you volunteer for an organization, you apply your
skills and contribute your time to a worthwhile cause. Volunteering can even
help you improve your resume and grow your professional network. Whether you're
a student looking for new skills or an older person with a lot of expertise to
share, you can find a volunteering opportunity that suits your needs.
Still, it can be difficult to know where to begin when
looking for a volunteer opportunity. There are so many great volunteer opportunities out there, and they can all be difficult to choose from. The good
news is that there’s no need to worry about making the wrong choice - because
the best opportunities will come to you. The more time you spend looking for
opportunities, the more opportunities will come to you.
In this article, Cindy Imperato from the American Red Cross
discusses how to find a volunteer opportunity and list 30 websites to get you
started.
