Even as a volunteer, it’s good to know about the people who are working and volunteering in the organisation that you’re involved with. As a start, of course you want to know who your point of contact is, if there’s a volunteer coordinator, supervisor, or manager. And to get a good overview of the organisation, ask for an organisational chart, because you can see the types of programmes, services or projects and even events they might deliver, and where you might fit within that organisation. And you never know whilst it may not be that the role that you particularly want that you’ve entered into, you might be able to identify a future volunteer role as well.
