Volunteer Your Skills

Get Started Helpful Tips:

• Take an inventory of your current and past job functions and make a list of the broad areas in which you have professional experience.  For example, do you work in marketing, public relations, law, human resources, accounting, finance, technology, strategic planning?
• Assess your business and organization skills that cut across all functional or subject areas and make a list of your capabilities.  For example, are you a good writer?  Do you negotiate well?  Are you a strong project manager?

• Once you’ve identified your skills and capabilities, jot down how you could apply your specific abilities to the business needs Gift for a Child.  For example, if you are a writer you could help with a youth writing project. If you work with computers, perhaps you could help us with our database development needs.  If you work in finance, you might help with a cash flow analysis.  If you work in graphic design, you could design an event invitation.  If you work in training, you could develop a training manual.  If you are skilled in negotiation, you could help finalize a contract.  The possibilities are endless!
