Volunteering experience: Is it the right track?

Content

Going for a volunteering service, is it really something for me?You are thinking about doing a voluntary service? You are not sure, whether you are on the right track with this idea? We have a small self check-up in this activity. 
﻿
In the previous activity you were able to explore what a volunteering experience is about, to whom it is targeted and what the general concept of it is. Surely there are also formal criteria, such as the minimum age and country of residence.
﻿
But more important is: 
Do you identify yourself in this?
Picture yourself during a volunteering service. What will you experience? What are you going to learn and how will you grow? What are your expectations? 
﻿
Do the self check-up! 
Take the survey down below to check if your imagination coincides with reality! 
This test might answer some of your questions as well. But don´t worry. No matter how you answer the questions, in the end you alone know what´s best for you!

The next activities in this playlist will help you to learn where and how you can apply for a volunteering service.
