A first conversation about volunteering can clarify expectations and your availability.

The idea

Say you want to volunteer, ask about tasks and hours, explain your availability and ask how to register.

Examples

  • Quiero participar como persona voluntaria.I want to participate as a volunteer.
  • ¿Qué tareas necesitan apoyo?What tasks need support?
  • ¿Cuántas horas por semana?How many hours per week?
  • ¿Hay una reunión de bienvenida?Is there a welcome meeting?
  • Solo puedo los sábados por la mañana.I can only do Saturday mornings.
  • ¿Cómo puedo inscribirme?How can I sign up?

Watch out

Do not assume the organization has accepted you or offers a particular schedule; ask about the process.
