Course overview
Lesson Overview
5.4 – Volunteering in Local Programs: Start by researching credible community centers, shelters, and outreach programs. Pick causes that match your strengths and availability. Contact volunteer coordinators to learn training requirements. Follow all safety and confidentiality guidelines while serving. Arrive prepared, respectful, and on time to show reliability. Work consistently instead of showing up once and leaving. Document your hours to reflect commitment and growth. Share ideas politely that could improve program delivery. Encourage friends or family to join future events. Volunteering turns compassion into measurable, community-wide change.
