Needham Community Education

Are you searching for a meaningful and rewarding volunteer opportunity, but don’t know where to start? This unique class is geared toward retirees looking to give back, people needing to fulfill required community service hours, and those wanting to volunteer as a way to explore a new career path. The instructor, a seasoned volunteer coordinator for non-profits, will provide insight into how organizations typically determine their volunteer needs, recruit and value their volunteers. You will learn how to interpret volunteer listings to gain a better sense of whether it is a good match for your personal catalysts, commitment ability and your skill-set/personal strengths. Each participant will gain a better understanding of the value they might bring to a non-profit through the creation of a Volunteer AvatarTM. There will be some time dedicated to individual placement guidance.
