Identifying the right opportunities

  • Let those within your organization and your trusted contacts know that you're looking for outside activities relevant to your job or skills.
  • Explore your passions and see if groups connected to them have any open positions that will let you learn and develop.
  • Seek out friends and colleagues who already have meaningful volunteer jobs and offer your help.
  • Get your name, interests, and expertise out there through public speaking, social media, and publishing so people can offer possibilities to you.
  • Pick a role that you are passionate about and where you make a measurable contribution.
