Volunteering in your community gives you a chance to give back. You' ll feel proud that you are volunteering your time, and a local organization will benefit, too. There are some tips(建议) you can follow to help you do your volunteer jobs well. You should choose a volunteer job first and pay attention to the volunteer job you feel strongly about. When you decide to volunteer, you shouldn't accept the first volunteer chance you come across easily, because you' re likely to be happier and volunteer longer at an organization that supports a job you care about. So you may need to find a volunteer job that makes full use of your abilities or skills. Then, treat the volunteer job like a real job or your study task. That means being serious. Spend some time preparing for the interview, much as you would prepare for a job interview. During your volunteering, you should take responsibility (责任) for everything you do instead of giving up. You may even complete any needed training to help you volunteer well, such as learning some useful skills to help others. Being active and creative is also necessary. Both of the two traits(特质) will help you be great volunteers.
