Something teachers don’t teach is personal responsibility. Some people seem to think that volunteering for a non-profit means that you don’t have to shoulder any responsibility. They think they may change their obligations at any moment without consequence to anyone else. Not to mention they complain about the state of affairs.
So, let me clear some things up for everyone out there who volunteers. I don’t care if you changed your mind and decided not to show up, I don’t care that you have kids, and I don’t care that you had a hard week at your paying job, I don’t care that you’re the idiot who forgot about family coming into town & I certainly don’t care that you can’t be responsible. What I do care about is that you canceled volunteering for a shift and I had to cover your ass. Oh and forget complaining to me about anything. Because when you can’t be bothered to show up for planning meetings and flake on your volunteering responsibilities you deserve no input.
Now, most people volunteer at non-profits because they care about the cause. I applaud you for paying attention and caring; however, please don’t pretend to volunteer if you’re not going to bother showing up. You may show support in a multitude of ways, such as money & word of mouth.
So, next time you decide to volunteer your time, make sure you have to time to commit. Most importantly be the change you want to see in the world and live your values. I certainly do.
