#Volunteering #Opportunities Sharing for my York University School of Continuing Studies students Why #volunteer? Volunteers help non-profits achieve their missions and create change in the community. The majority of non-profits will have an application process to ensure that they find the right volunteer for the role. This benefits the non-profit and the community as they ensure that the person has the right skills, experience and personality for the position. This can also benefit you as a volunteer as you’ll be placed in a role that suites your skills and interests. By asking for application forms, resumes or cover letters the non-profit will learn more about your skills and experience related to the volunteer position. Interviews especially are a great way for them to learn more about your passion for the cause, your interest in the role and your strengths. If you want to volunteer to help seniors, children, people with disabilities or others who might be considered vulnerable you will be asked to do a police check. The non-profit may also ask for references which are other people who can give feedback on your skills and working style. https://lnkd.in/gAq-wEcY
