- There are many forms of volunteer work, such as hospital DJing, helping the elderly or assisting people with a disability. Check your local press and community centre for details.
- Helping others can make a genuine difference to their lives, plus it lets you meet new friends and builds your self-respect.
- Everyone has something to offer. If you aren't a people person, perhaps you can offer your organisational or budgeting skills.
- Overseas voluntary work can be your first time alone and independent in a foreign country. Make sure you've prepared for every eventuality.
