When picking a charity to volunteer or donate to,
make sure to ask yourself some of these questions:
- What causes do I feel God has laid on my heart to help with?
- Why do I want to help? Is it out of guilt or impulse? Or is it out of genuine concern and need to take action?
- Can I help make a difference through an existing charity...or do I need to take action in a whole new way?
- Will my time volunteering interfere with my school work or other family commitments?
- Will this act of volunteerism be a long-term commitment or something I can do every once in a while?
- Is this organization something my entire family or group of friends might want to participate with along side of me?
- If I am going to contribute financially, is this something I have cleared with my parents (Some website might not be secure for donating funds, or worse, could be a scam!)
