One of my goals in 2020 is to volunteer more often.
I don’t volunteer much. Here’s why:
- I don’t like boring volunteer shifts where I sit around watching the clock.
- I don’t like long volunteer shifts. An ideal length of time is maybe 1.5 hours. After that, I get antsy.
- I don’t want to be too cold, too warm, or too uncomfortable in my spare time.
Here’s some things I’d like to find in a volunteer opportunity:
- I want it to be productive and short – I want to get a lot done in an hour or two.
- Maybe once a month, with flexible hours.
- Fun and active, not just sitting around.
- I’d like to use my notary public for a good cause.
I’ve volunteered a bit in the past year, but I’m looking for more opportunities. They seem to be hard to find. Additionally, some volunteer positions are harder to apply for than a paying job!
My goal is to volunteer about 24 times in 2020, maybe 40 hours total. Wish me luck!
