Things You Should Consider While Volunteering For The First Time

Volunteering for cleanliness of public spaces is a noble cause. It reflects our sense of responsibility and belongingness to our public spaces which define our cities. Many people would want to do something for our cities but don’t know where to start. The best thing is to be a part of a team that volunteers for such activities as team work can multiply the outcomes. Finding out an NGO in your locality with goodwill and trust amongst the people is the first step in the right direction. And once you have  decided to join hands with a team then there are certain things which you  should consider while volunteering for the first time 

1. Make sure to register yourself with your name and contact details
2. Declare your blood group and emergency contacts in case the need arises
3. Ensure you are on time or before time so that you can get a proper briefing about the  activity.
4. Understand the terrain and the activity in advance and dress accordingly. for example, if it is a cleanliness activity on a hill you can wear shoes accordingly
5. Use protective gear including masks and gloves
6. Make sure someone in your group has a first-aid kit
7. Take care of yourself and others in your team
8. Volunteering is a Noble Cause and is meant to create awareness about pertinent issues. Make sure you continue with your good work and enjoy the team spirit and your achievements !
