1 Share your story

One of the most powerful ways to motivate and inspire others to volunteer is to share your own story. Why do you volunteer? What impact has it had on your life and the lives of others? How do you balance your time and energy? By sharing your personal experiences and emotions, you can connect with others on a deeper level, show them the benefits and joys of volunteering, and inspire them to follow your example.

On thing I found helpful about Volunteering is that it gives me a fresh perspective and a better understanding of life. It gives me the opportunity to be the change I seek in the world. The sudden and catastrophic change in my country’s economy can easily make one slip into depression. Volunteering to the communities somehow helps to prevent that. It gives a sense of gratitude and fulfillment. Knowing that despite everything happening around me, I touched a life today. I made a positive difference.

I find great purpose in volunteering and giving back to others. The act of sharing and giving has enriched my life and I believe it is more rewarding to be able to give than to receive. These values are deeply ingrained in me and I encourage others to also give back to the community. It's important to instill the value of volunteering in our children, as it all starts from home.

My volunteering experience has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the power of community engagement and the positive impact it can have on both individuals and society. To motivate and inspire others to volunteer more, I believe in leading by example. Sharing personal stories and the transformative experiences gained through volunteering can serve as a powerful motivator. . Acknowledging the diverse skills and talents that each volunteer brings to the table fosters a culture of inclusivity and shared success. Consistent recognition and appreciation for volunteers' efforts, no matter how small, can go a long way in encouraging continued participation and inspiring others to join in the meaningful journey of giving back to the community.

2 Recognize and appreciate

Another way to motivate and inspire others to volunteer is to recognize and appreciate their efforts and achievements. Everyone likes to feel valued and acknowledged for their contributions, especially when they are giving their time and skills for free. You can recognize and appreciate your fellow volunteers by saying thank you, giving feedback, celebrating milestones, rewarding achievements, and highlighting their stories. By doing so, you can boost their morale, confidence, and loyalty, and make them feel part of a team.

3 Provide support and guidance

A third way to motivate and inspire others to volunteer is to provide support and guidance. Volunteering can be challenging, demanding, and sometimes frustrating, especially for new or inexperienced volunteers. You can help them overcome these difficulties by offering them support and guidance, such as training, mentoring, coaching, resources, and advice. By doing so, you can help them develop their skills, confidence, and competence, and ensure they have a positive and satisfying volunteering experience.

4 Create opportunities and choices

A fourth way to motivate and inspire others to volunteer is to create opportunities and choices. Volunteering should be fun, enjoyable, and meaningful, not boring, tedious, or irrelevant. You can create opportunities and choices for your potential and current volunteers by offering them a variety of roles, tasks, projects, and causes that match their interests, skills, goals, and availability. By doing so, you can help them find their passion, purpose, and niche, and keep them engaged and motivated.

5 Involve and empower

A fifth way to motivate and inspire others to volunteer is to involve and empower them. Volunteering should be empowering, not disempowering. You can involve and empower your volunteers by giving them a voice, a say, and a role in the decision-making, planning, and implementation of your volunteering activities. By doing so, you can help them feel valued, respected, and trusted, and foster a sense of ownership, responsibility, and accountability.

6 Lead by example

A sixth way to motivate and inspire others to volunteer is to lead by example. Volunteering should be inspiring, not discouraging. You can lead by example by showing your enthusiasm, commitment, passion, and professionalism in your volunteering work. By doing so, you can help them see the positive impact you are making, the skills you are learning, the connections you are building, and the fun you are having, and encourage them to do the same.

To make the most of this, volunteer for causes that are close to your heart, that piqued your interest long before you started volunteering. For instance, if you’re passionate about making education more accessible, volunteer for a charity that focuses on improving education facilities in Zambia (Our Moon is a great charity to volunteer for here). The more time you spend volunteering, the more you’ll interact with those directly affected by the charity. You’ll learn their stories, their backgrounds and how the work you’re doing is benefitting their lives, giving you stories to share that may inspire someone else to take positive action, too.
