Volunteer work suppose to be a passionate job, filling the inner joy and happiness whenever you are in the Volunteered field. Using your knowledge and talent to create joy in the midst of people or in the life of someone. It has been me long term dream I don't know how and where to start. Really thank God for the great opportunity to give out what He deposited in our lives.
I am 61,volunteer at different prisons as part of team facilitating Restorative Justice process with inmates for past 13 years. I've also just graduated as a trained doula and the moment give of my time to 2 maternity hospitals. I will be so bored if I did not volunteer. Still no stipend, no money years later still happy to see people's lives being restored and babies being born into this world.
Kevin, thanks for the great Tedx Talk! As you know I volunteered as a way to transition into a new phase of my life, apply what I already knew about marketing and learn new skills to help small nonprofits. I also met so many great people I never would have met otherwise. Thanks!
This Ted Talk hits home everytime I watch it. I'm ready to be selfish and volunteer to gain new skills for a career change, to network, and give back. Kevin great job!!
The amount of volunteer opportunities are endless. He is right that it can be selfish and that's OK. For me, volunteering is about contributing to my local community. I want to take part in making my town a better place to live. I get a lot of enjoyment out of knowing I may have changed/bettered the lives of others. So it is selfish. If I stopped volunteering today, I would feel less fulfilled. As frustrating as volunteer work (especially at an administrative level) can be, if I stopped today I would miss it.
We're losing volunteers because people are underpaid- and they can't afford to spend all that time doing something for free. If wages were fair and in line with cost of living, those people would be able to afford to volunteer instead of working second and third jobs.
Am impressed as a Potential Volunteers, Facilitators Advocating for international UN Volunteers.

Well, this talk sounded like a motivational recruiting advertising: I own a non-profit organization, come work for me (for free)
That's enlightening on multiple fronts..... Thanks
THank you.
