BECOMING A VOLUNTEER

ridingThe first step to becoming a volunteer is to register with Volunteer Action Dumfries & Galloway. This is a simple process and should only take about 15 minutes of your time.

Following registration we will help you look for a suitable volunteering opportunity and support you as you get started.

 

What's in it for you?

meetingVolunteering is a two way process. By donating your time and skills to an organisation you're providing them with a much needed service. However, there are lots of benefits to the volunteer as well.

Volunteering can be fun, it can be a way to make new friends and it can be a route to future employment. Voluntary work can form an important part of a Curriculum Vitae (CV), new skills can be learnt and valuable work experience can be gained. Volunteers working overseas also gain by learning about new cultures, travelling to exotic locations and providing vital support to developing projects.
