Recently I have been wondering… do organizations take advantage of their volunteers?
I have noticed that one particular organization will talk behind your back if they do not like you. They will give you a position to volunteer in so they can watch you fail. I had also noticed that you can handle everything perfect, are willing to take on tasks, are able to do the requested role; but when they find something that they do not like they dismiss you.
I see that volunteers need to be a little more picky about where they volunteer. I think that along with that organizations that are doing things that are maybe not doing the best for the volunteers should be brought forward. I know that I will let prospective volunteers know about the good and bad attributes of an organization. Why should I hold back? They don’t!
