Volunteering

Log in as local board. You can create a new volunteer activity at "new activity" in the navigation bar.

Think about:

• What you stand for (animal welfare, heritage, human rights, environment, health ...)
• What the most important tasks are (sports, writing, cooking, consultancy, ICT ...)
• In which context you belong (religious, multicultural, assisting, festive ...)
• Which target group you reach (refugees, young people, people in poverty, people with disabilities ...)

These are the themes that your local government considers important for a voluntary activity. Find those themes in the 35 interests.

Try to link multiple themes to your specific interest in order to have a combination of interests that refer to your specific volunteer activity. The skills can also complement this.

Do you not know under which themes you can put your specific interest? Then look at the clarification of the themes below.

This is to be clear and concrete. This increases the chance of a good match with a volunteer. The volunteer can search specifically for which volunteer activity fits best. You get a really interested person and they are more likely to be a suitable volunteer.

This is to be clear and concrete. Our research shows that the volunteer wants to be able to search efficiently and wants to feel addressed. Create short active sentences, use easy words, do not use abbreviations or expressions and be inviting.

This is not possible for now. For this you have to create a new volunteer activity.

You can report this via info@giveaday.be with the topic "new interest/skill desired". Describe which interest or skill you are missing and why, so that we can respond to your feedback.
