Has anyone here done volunteer work?
I just went to the library and signed up to be a volunteer but there's a waiting list. Has anyone ever done volunteer work and if so what is it like? Is it just like going to work (which i've never done)?

i have. give every child a chance.

I volunteered once to impress some girl. Pretty much a massive waste of time with zero payoff. I won't say I regret it, because I learned from the experience, but I won't do it again.
-
Yes, but it was for my senior project. I had to maintain a baseball field...
-
I've volunteered at a hospital for 2 years. Boring as hell.

You put in a lot of hours and you don't get paid monetarily. Depending on your work that you do will come with certain rewards and in some situations learning a new skill set. I worked for a volunteer haunted house. I learned business, designing, building, management, etc. I can't put it on a resume, but I can macguyver a lot. And it was fun to scare people. Other than the operation costs, the rest went to charity. Then I worked volunteer 911 EMS. It was fine. There were a lot if expectations an a lot of hard work, but helping people far outweighed the frustrations. I left because I had to make money to support my family. I recommend volunteer work as it humbles you and is very rewarding to the soul.

Yes, both voluntarily, and un-voluntarily.
-
I volunteered at my city park for a scholarship. It's extremely boring.

Depends entirely on the type of organization you're volunteering for. It could be anything from filing and moving boxes to cleaning up after a storm
-
I had a work placement last year that was technically voluntarily as I didn't get paid. It was just for pure work experience. I basically did -blam!- all considering nobody bothered to delegate any work to me.
-
Why would you volunteer for volunteer work? I have experience though OP.

1 ReplyWhat it's like depends on where it is. That's like asking "What's it like to have a job?" Depends on the job.

5 RepliesYou work various activities for free, hence the title "VOLUNTEER." I volunteer all the time.

I had to do it as a punishment, back in middle-school. I was caught destroying school property so I had to sacrifice part of my winter break for cleaning around the school and such.
-
I did volunteer work as a graduation requirement. It was at a library. I hated it so much.
-
Well if you consider community service as volunteer work then yes but i did it picking up trash, cleaning bathrooms and public parks. It wasnt to great. Very boring.

Waiting for the opportunity to volunteer at an animal shelter. Need to get my license, though.
