From the workplace, to the local church, volunteering can be a social activity. Turn
your passion into action in places where you are needed most. Fancy a few hours
gardening, sports, teaching a drama class or pampering abandoned animals.

Ask any volunteer - you get more than you put in.
Volunteering is an enriching experience that empowers the individual through skills
development and transfer, additional work experience, exposure to career options and
a sense of personal fullfillment.

All you need is a clear plan of action and the desire to make a difference. It is
advisable for a voluntary organisation to be registered with the NPO (Non-Profit
Organisation) Directorate, housed at the Department of Social Development. This
NPO number enhances your fund-raising ability.
