Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Volunteering, especially when it’s done on a regular basis, can help you make new acquaintances. Whether you volunteer for an organisation on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, over time you will develop strong relationships, typically with other volunteers and staff members.
Regular volunteers may get these benefits to a greater degree than people who volunteer infrequently. Consider this: Handing out water at a fundraising run in April and then helping in an orphanage in November is surely easier to squeeze into a activities aren’t as likely to help you build relationships over time.
There are benefits and drawbacks to every type of volunteering. For example, volunteering once in a while is often easy to schedule and is something families or busy schedule than volunteering regularly in an office. But those more convenient friends can do together. However, volunteers who take part in occasionally may not feel very connected to the mission of the nonprofits they support or get to know many other volunteers.
Regularly volunteering, on the other hand, makes it more likely that you will develop a deep relationship to the cause and to other staff and volunteers. However, this kind of volunteering requires a longer-term and bigger time commitment. It can also become frustrating if the volunteer’s duties aren’t a good fit for them.
Still, if people are willing to work toward finding the right fit and making time in their schedules, volunteering on a regular basis can help them get more out of their efforts, including new friends and acquaintances.
