Top 3 Ways to Let Volunteers Know Their Worth

1 (1)

Volunteer work gives great self-satisfaction, but often volunteers find it tedious. Mostly the job of a volunteer is considered a thankless job. Volunteers often need to face rejections and that’s why not many people show a willingness to volunteer for India and many leave it halfway. The community and NGO leaders can change this way by letting their volunteers know how gifted they are and what a big difference they are making. The top 3 ways to allure people take and pursue volunteer opportunities by letting them feel worthy are briefed below:

1. Let your volunteers know public reactions

As mentioned earlier, most people consider it a thankless job, but it is not that way. There are many people that appreciate people doing different kinds of volunteer work. Often, the gratitude and appreciation messages don’t go directly to all volunteers. Thus, you can pass these messages in each volunteer you have in your organization. You can also collect feedback or votes from the public and show the positive side of different volunteer platforms and works.

However, some states are already showing acceptance of this ban and enforcing the same. At the moment, In India, there are 22 states and Union territories that have completely banned the use of single use plastic.
