Volunteering

10 Handy Hints for Volunteering in a Preschool Parent Association
  1. Know what you want to achieve before you try to achieve it.
  2. Discuss what you want to do with those who are important to you before you decide to do it.
  3. Know what resources you have and what you need to get yet, including human resources.
  4. Don’t limit yourself in thinking about where those resources will come from. Corporate volunteering is growing throughout the world. Corporations can give their staff’s time as well as in kind resources and money and are more likely to do the former now.
  5. Spend time building yourself up and taking care of yourself and each other - a car doesn’t run on empty and neither do you.
  6. “Thank you” is 2 little words but also very big ones.
  7. Stop every once and again to ask yourself how you are going, involve all those who are important to you in that exercise.
  8. Don’t be afraid of mistakes and constructive criticism as this is one way we can learn.
  9. Have fun and most importantly of all -
  10. Listen to the children.
