Before you volunteer think, why am I volunteering? Is it to gain experience in a potential future career? Or you want to give back to the planet? or I just want a holiday that has a good impact on the earth? It doesn’t matter which but first think why you want to join a volunteering project.
Then think, what can I give back to the project? What are your skills ? How is my money being spent and what is the impact?
With these three questions in mind you can look for suitable programmes for you and then ask the right questions. What will I get out of this? What can I give back and how is more money being spent. Ethical and responsible volunteering projects would be more than happy to answer these questions.
