如何開始做志愿者

魏瑋

勞動是偉大的，勞動者是偉大的。沒有勞動，我們就沒有豐衣足食，沒有安居樂業(yè)。身為學生，我們沒法像父母一樣去工作，像農(nóng)民伯伯一樣去栽種，但我們可以從細微處在閑暇時去做志愿者，去幫助他人。勞動是一種態(tài)度，是光榮的！

“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person's life for the better，which makes everyone abetter person，" Mason，a volunteer said.

National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. in many countries. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can bethe biggest problem，because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’sexpectations. Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.

The following tips can help if you have some of these worries：

▲Start out slowly，and don't add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life.

▲Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.

▲Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers，even if it is not asked. ▲Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot，and he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’sexpectations.

志愿者工作讓你用不同的視角去看世界。你可以體會到小事情是如何把一個人的生活變得更好，而與此同時把每一個人 都變成更好的自己?！瘪R森，一個志愿者說。

“全國志愿者周”在1974年設(shè)立，很多國家在每年的4月份進行活動。這是一個感謝志愿者們的成就的時刻。這同樣也是一個鼓勵其他人邁出做志愿者的第一步的絕好的機會。下定決心邁開做志愿者的第一步是最困難的，因為他們常常會很困惑，不知道自己是否能達到組織的期望。有的人會害怕不認識小組中的其他人。沒有足夠的時間也阻止了一些人分享他們的能力。

如果你有這些困擾，下面的建議可以為你提供一點幫助：

▲慢慢地開始，不要加上太多的壓力。即使是一個月花幾個小時的時間也可以給某個人的生活帶來巨大的改變。

▲找一個志同道合的志愿者組織。

▲參加信任培訓會，即使是沒有要求你這么做。

▲和有經(jīng)驗的志愿者一起工作。他做過了志愿者工作，能夠幫助你增加自信并且完全地理解組織的期望。

▲邀請一個朋友或者家人和你一起去。和他們一.起做志愿者是一個很不錯的經(jīng)歷。

▲最后，最重要的是享受做志愿者的經(jīng)歷。牢記不是所有志愿者的經(jīng)歷都是完美的。如果有一種經(jīng)歷不太美好，不要放棄，你總會找到適合的機會。

花一些時間來做志愿者，你會看到人們生活中的巨大改變。正如馬森在他的志愿者經(jīng)歷里發(fā)現(xiàn)的：“小事情就能改變?nèi)藗兊纳睢！?/p>
