This document discusses issues with volunteerism and potential solutions. It notes that some students are not interested in volunteering because they do not feel appreciated or that it is too difficult to get involved. Non-profits can address this by making the signup process easy and showing appreciation for volunteers by featuring them online and with thank you notes. Telling people about the benefits of volunteering like improved self-esteem and happiness may also increase interest, as may choosing events related to students' majors that they will feel passionate about.

WHAT IS VOLUNTEERISM ◦ VOLUNTEERING IS AWAY OF GIVING BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY WHILE DEVELOPING IMPORTANT SOCIAL SKILLS. ISSUES ◦ NOT MANY PEOPLE WANT TO BE VOLUNTEERS ◦ WHY STUDENT ARE NOT INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING VOLUNTEERING PROGRAM CAUSES THEY BELIEVE THEY DON’T MEASURE UP TO OTHER VOLUNTEERS Some people are reluctant to help a nonprofit organization for a variety of reasons. For example, some may have full-time jobs and don’t think they can contribute as much as other volunteers. THEY DON’T FEEL APPRECIATED Volunteers are less likely to continue donating their time if they don’t feel appreciated. If nonprofit organizations want to keep volunteers and recruit news ones, they have to make them feel valued. According to Volunteer Match, an effective way for a nonprofit leader to recognize volunteers is to feature them on the organization’s website. The nonprofit manager should interview a volunteer every month and find out a little more about them, such as what they do for a living or what motivated them to give their time. Sending contributors thank you notes is another good way to make them feel appreciated. ◦ IT IS TO DIFFICULT TO GET INVOLVED If nonprofit leaders want to recruit more people to volunteer, they should make the sign-up process as easy as possible. If individuals are required to take several classes or fill out long forms, it may discourage them from helping. If it’s absolutely necessary for volunteers to take a class, provide several different time options. If you only offer classes on weekdays, full-time workers may not be able to attend them.
THEY WEREN’T ASKED TO VOLUNTEER
◦ If people aren’t personally asked to get involved, they likely won’t volunteer their services. Nonprofit leaders should ask individuals in person to help out at their organization. For example, charitable businesses could set up information booths at local festivals and other events to recruit individuals to volunteer. When people walk by the booth, the nonprofit leader could tell them how the organization needs help and ask if they can volunteer. POSITIVE EFFECT OF VOLUNTEERING ◦ Volunteering keeps you in regular contact with others and helps you develop a solid support system, which in turn protects you against stress and depression when you’re going through challenging times. POSITIVES EFFECT AND BENEFITS IMPROVES SELF ESTEEM Volunteering may boost your self-esteem and self-confidence. When you do something you fewl is worthable and valuable for your community, it gives you a sense of accomplishment that may help you feel more fulfilled about your life and any future goals. CAN HELP YOU FELL HAPPIER ◦ It often feels good to contribute to projects and organizations that mean something to you. These good feeling can help lessen the effects of stress, anger or anxiety in your life. Many volunteer opportunities also may involve physical labor to keep you active and reduce stress. ◦ GETS YOU OUT FROMYOUR COMFORT ZONE ◦ Through volunteer work, you may overcome the personal challenges of leaving your comfort zone and doing something new with people you may not know. You may be faced with various problems to solve as a volunteer that require you to exercise critical thinking skills that aid your own personal development. SOLUTIONS ◦ TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF DOING VOLUNTEERING By telling people the benefits of doing volunteering people might be more interest in doing it, this agenda will actually help us to gain and ask more people to do volunteering ◦ PICK THE RIGHT EVENT Teachers need to focused on events or organizations that were related to the students’ major.when the event that are choosen is right,it will make the students more excited to do the volunteering because they understand and love it.
