[Jeanetta price]

5. Will my volunteering affect my      other commitments?
If you’re already stretched thin and are worried about whether a volunteer position will made it hard for you to keep up with your schoolwork, a paid job, or other commitments you may already have going, you may need to reconsider the timing in your volunteer search.

> Although we’d all like to assume people volunteer for selfless reasons, it’s not a bad idea to think about what you’ll gain from one particular volunteer position over another. There could be academic credit involved, or exposure to people in the field you’d like to end up in after graduation. Think about what you want to get from your volunteer experience, as everyone’s end goals differ when it comes to unpaid service.

>> 3. What do I most want to learn from the experience?
>> A volunteer job can be a good place to get your feet wet in your intended field of study or to learn new skills that could be useful to you once you graduate from college. Think about the kinds of things you want to learn from your time volunteering, because you may not only end up learning about yourself, but learning useful skills for the future, as well.
