Therefore, we need to be sure we are representing ourselves in a positive manner, as volunteer opportunities can often lead to something bigger and better for us. Also important to note is the fact that we are most often also representing someone or something bigger than ourselves, such as our program and university or the person who invited us to participate.
As a volunteer you are fulfilling a very important role, as events would not be as successful without the help from volunteers. A few pieces of advice in regards to expectations when serving in the role as a volunteer:
- Arrive on time, wearing appropriate attire (ask before arriving if your contact does not tell you before hand)
- Make sure you know the answers to frequently asked questions (customer service is key)
- Be sure to serve in the specific role you were asked to serve (if you were asked to be an usher, watching the crowd and not the game - do just that)
- Be sure to eat before you arrive as often times a break for food is not scheduled into your working session
- Do not complain
- Be sure to thank your supervisor for the opportunity
- Do not expect to receive anything for free
