10. How To Be A Good
Volunteer
Volunteering is fun and rewarding, but
it's also a little more complicated than
just showing up and having a good
time. Here's some advice on how to
make the most of your volunteer work:
 Be selfless. Selfless is the opposite
of selfish. Don't think about what
you can do to help yourself. Think
about what you can do to help
others.
 Be well-trained. Know what you're
doing as a volunteer. If you need
some time to learn your job, take
that time. If you need training or
need someone to show you what
you're supposed to do, speak up. If
you're good at your job, it will be
much easier to help others (plus
you'll have a lot more fun).
