Thank you for your interest in becoming a Volunteer for Jane Doe Rising, Inc!

There are many ways one can offer their skills and/or time to nonprofit or other community-based organizations.  There is almost always a need for volunteers!  However, becoming a part of something bigger, or being a part of the solution as a Volunteer can have many ups and downs.  Volunteering can be very rewarding, yet exhaustive at times. 

Please consider speaking with your family, friends or other close peers before committing to a Volunteer role in Advocacy or other community and social services.  I believe it is very important to have support from those closest to you, and to seek guidance when considering this step. 

Think about why you are considering our organization in particular and how our mission and initiatives align with your personal values.  What goals do you have for becoming a Volunteer?  How do you think helping may affect you mentally, physically, emotionally and how will you cope with stress and/or burnout when it occurs?  What will "taking a break" look like for you when necessary?  Do you have an idea of what level of engagement or direct contact you are comfortable having with the clients we serve?

What are some of your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to interacting with strangers, public speaking, group leadership, problem solving etc.?  Are there any areas that you believe you could be a mentor to someone else, or be mentored yourself?

I know it's a lot to consider!  Once you’ve determined to what extent you are willing and able to Volunteer, please complete the attached application and return it by email to: janedoegroup@outlook.com.

I look forward to serving with you!
