Once you ve proven yourself to be a valuable volunteer, others will want your services, too. One person can only do so much. If you are a working mother, too much volunteering can intrude on your career or your home life. If you remain focused, you may be able to incorporate one with the other. Let s go back to the example above.
Kids like to fold papers, stuff envelopes, seal flaps, and just get involved.
And that family time becomes a good moment to reinforce the values of charity and volunteerism. The last principle is to let people at your office know you re involved. Co-workers can offer help, advice, and suggestions. Maybe they know someone who would like to attend an event or donate money. Perhaps your company would be willing to make a contribution.
