兒子說怎樣找義工工作

(2011-08-23 21:06:27) 下一個

兒子記錄了做義工的經曆,得到了不少叔叔阿姨的表揚。他嘴上不說,心裏美滋滋的,人做了好事的感覺就是不一樣,是嗎?

我們也收到許多父母的詢問,怎樣幫助孩子們找到合適的義工工作?義工是對社會的一種奉獻,可以培養孩子的一份愛心,也是申請大學的要求之一,更加鍛煉孩子的社交能力,從多重意義上來講,做義工是一件值得提倡的事情。於是兒子繼續努力,根據他自己做義工的經曆,寫了怎樣找到合適的義工工作一文。

There are many ways of finding volunteer work. The easiest way to find volunteer work is probably through a school club, though the work found there is more likely to be of the generic type such as soup kitchens, community events, and things like that. School clubs get more access to volunteer work because volunteer groups like having a regular group of people who will almost always be able to fill volunteer spots.

The more unusual types of volunteering usually have to be found on your own. These types of volunteering would be being a counselor at a camp or helping the less fortunate in other countries. These usually require applying in advance, and many of these opportunities are actually impacted as many others are probably also interested in the unique work. A site like http://www.ecoteer.com/ is an example of a unique volunteer job because it involves travelling to another country to do work.

When looking for volunteer work on your own, where you look depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for some local community things, there is a site called http://www.volunteermatch.org/. In the site there is a variety of activities, from one time volunteering to a 1 year commitment at a hospital or museum.

Volunteer opportunities can come in many forms and many places, and as long as you can commit the time to do them they are always worth the experience.
