Today, volunteering (also called volunteering) is becoming more and more common in Russia. Moreover, if earlier it was associated mainly with volunteer military units, until today you can become a volunteer in almost any field.
Instruction manual
1
Find out what volunteer organizations are in your city. Look on the Internet, almost all of them have their own sites. Choose the organization whose activity attracts you the most, and contact them. Do not be afraid that they will refuse you, they are happy for any help. Such organizations come in all sorts of different directions: environmental, archaeological, aimed at helping orphans or veterans of the Great Patriotic War, etc.
2
Follow the news in your city. As a rule, if some major city, regional, All-Russian or international events, forums, exhibitions, festivals are held, then the organizers recruit volunteers to help. In return, volunteers usually receive food, T-shirts and other products with the event’s logo, travel to the event venue and accommodation there (if the event takes place, for example, outside the city). As well as the opportunity to attend events of the festival / exhibition / forum for free.
3
Implement your own volunteer project. Analyze what social problems your community has and how you can solve them. Gather a project team, write a project (information on how to do this can be found on the Internet), apply for a grant, or attract funds from sponsors and patrons. Attract the same volunteers as you to the project, cover your activities in the media.
note
Volunteers are not a free labor force, they are people who are ready to benefit the society of their own free will. Remember that no one can force you to work, you are doing something exclusively of your own free will.
Useful advice
Engaged in volunteer activities, you can significantly diversify your leisure time, expand your circle of acquaintances, learn something new and even travel.
