Check out 10 basic tips for you to make your volunteering a successful case:

• EVERYONE CAN BE PART OF SOLIDARY ACTIONS

Being a volunteer does not depend on your degree of knowledge, specialty or skill. Remember that you will also learn a lot. The little you know can be a lot for someone;

• COMMITMENT

Keep in mind that everyone is part of a collective, of a whole team. Therefore, discipline is essential at these times. Help as you can, but always responsibly.

• INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS

All volunteer work requires rational and emotional intelligence. You will have contact with people from different backgrounds, sometimes from different places and cultures. The relationship will always be one to one, otherwise, flexibility and empathy will be super welcome.

• PROACTIVITY

Generally, basic information about the job and the field of action will always be given. Here at Eko Volunteers it is no different. However, we are a team that likes to get our hands involved together in the hard work. Then, by participating in our programs, you will be able to support at any time.

• EXCHANGE, THE KEYWORD OF THE VOLUNTEER

Everyone who embarks on this trip can exchange experiences, knowledge, energy and creativity. Allow yourself! The people who are there can help and be helped in some way.

• SOCIAL INCLUSION TOOL

We start from the premise that everyone can help. We do not limit anyone in our volunteer work.

•  HAVE A GOOD DIALOGUE

It is essential that you have the freedom to clarify doubts or other information you need. We will always be happy to assist you. Count on us!

• KNOWLEDGE OF LANGUAGES

Always be truthful about it. When receiving a vacancy, see if your level of knowledge is compatible with what is being requested.

• RESPECT FOR CULTURES AND PLACES VISITED

Each place, each environment, each region has its culture and a way of living all its experiences. Pay attention to basic issues such as cleanliness, organization and rules, if any. This is important for you to be able to enjoy your volunteering in the best possible way.

• MOTIVATION

If you chose to be on a volunteer basis, it is because you like to help people. Know that this already means 80% of your path in this new journey. Conditions will not always be favorable, which means that perseverance is a word that will have to walk with you all the time. Do not give up! You have this benefit in your favor.
