When was the last time you put your hand up & volunteered?
Do you look away when tasks are being allocated at your footie club or when there is fundraising needed or a position comes up on the committee?
There are many ways to give back. Yes, we are all time poor but if it was just a couple of hours a month it goes a long way. Clubs, not for profits & charities do not have the financial capacity to pay all the staff. This is why we have to give back, contribute our skillset & expertise. Many hands make light work.
Lend a helping hand today at your local community club, sporting, aged care facility, charity
Change the perception of being a volunteer
- It costs dollars & personal time
- Volunteers expected to be on duty 24/7
- As individuals, they can be disrespected & treated poorly by the members & fans
As a volunteer, it is a chance to
- give something back to the community
- make a difference to the people around them
- provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge
- Be mentored or be a mentor
- Be part of your child’s development
Get your club on track today & put your hand up & volunteer. I literally just did with under 13 cricket coaching
