Is It Time to Change Your Volunteer Post?

Why are we volunteering where we are volunteering? Periodically, we must pause to remember why we are maintaining or neglecting our various volunteer commitments.  We need to remember why we initially engaged with the organization. 

Were we chosen/or did we choose to engage because of a particular skill set, passion or connections?  If so, we need to ascertain if we have added sufficient value from our involvement. We must also question whether the organization could benefit from new blood with a similar reason for engaging.  Best yet, we will realize that our reasons for investing our discretionary time and talent with the organization remain worthy. And when we methodically choose to pare a commitment, my hope is that we will find another organization that will similarly benefit from our engagement and identify another volunteer who will serve in our place.

We all make a difference!
