Are you plannign to work as a volunteer? to work as a volunteer is good or not?

Hello Dasari100, I have no plans to work as a volunteer at this moment and never been one before. I just have too much things to do right now. I am not sure in the future, maybe after the retirement I can actively involve in a volunteer work. It is good deed in fact but not all people can do so.

I've never done any volunteered works . I do think helping public is a good thing to do but the thing is i never got a chance ,

I've volunteered with quite a few organizations now. I don't know if I will always have time to volunteer or not. But I'll definitely always try to at least do something. Currently I foster rescued guinea pigs and I volunteer at a marine mammal wildlife center.

You are such a nice person like me if you like to be a volunteer as you like to give service to others without asking anything in return. I have been a volunteer before for a medical mission to depressed areas in my country and I honestly missed doing that but I am very busy these days. I have thought of working as a volunteer abroad in the future.

I have volunteered for different sorts of jobs in the church, it is only right that after all the blessings that we get, there are so many people out there who needs our help, and we should volunteer at least a few hours of our time to help them. Its a great feeling to know that you have made a difference in the lives of these people. There are times when we would gather to pack relief goods for those who are in need. Other times, we would go to urban poor communities and have feeding programs.

I have worked as a volunteer before, I worked with the youth in my church.

At our church, each family cleans the church once a week, and so I volunteer there once or twice a year, and we have groups that are called upon to prepare the food whenever there is a special event. I am in the first group and I will help out then. As for other volunteering other then helping out at church, I do not do any. I volunteered once years ago, when we were first married and trying to adopt and I was told that if I volunteer and help out at a school for the mentally retarded, they would approve my application, but they lied. So I did not do any volunteering until I joined our church except for one time when I canvassed for the diabetes foundation.

I do lots of volunteer work in my community.

I have worked as a volunteer in a couple of different countries. In 1999 I first heard about the camphill movement and it sounded really intersting so I decided to spend some time working as a volunteer in two different camphill villages. People with special needs live in the camphill villages, I didn't get paid for working there, but I definately don't regret spending my time in the villages. It was very rewarding to be there and it was an experience that I will never forget. In the future I plan on volunteeing in my own country, too.

I think volunteering is very rewarding; you meet so many who are so grateful for whatever you do. They actually bless you! I used to help the visually impaired by reading their mail to them, driving them places and be their sighted guide.

I have tried to volunteer in a hospital for 3 months. It's really tiresome to care for a lot of patient then knowing that I don't have any salary. But still I enjoyed my work. At the end of the day, it's still good to feel that I have helped in a small way that I could. It's a rewarding feeling and a sense of completeness.
