1 Identify your niche

The first step is to identify what kind of business you want to create and who your target market is. Think about the problems you have solved, the skills you have developed, and the causes you have supported through your volunteering work. What are the needs and gaps in the market that you can address with your unique value proposition? For example, if you have volunteered as a tutor, you might consider starting a tutoring or coaching business for students or professionals. If you have volunteered as a fundraiser, you might consider offering fundraising or grant writing services for nonprofits or social enterprises.

Before starting my own non profits I had worked pro bono and as a volunteer with many different social impact organisations, clinics and NGOs. I learnt that my skills lie in research, public speaking and leadership for social impact around topics of climate change, youth advocacy and trauma therapy. This helped me develop a vision for T&F and subsequently start my own non profit.

What I’ve learned with volunteering is to find way that everyone benefits from the experience. For example lately, I’ve partnered with a local business and used them as a platform to highlight organizations using the diversity and inclusion calendar. Using my network, I’m creating an opportunity to touch people they may not normally get in front of.

2 Showcase your portfolio

The next step is to showcase your portfolio of work and achievements that demonstrate your expertise and credibility. You can use your volunteering experience as a proof of your skills, impact, and passion. Create a website, a blog, a social media profile, or a portfolio platform that highlights your volunteering projects, testimonials, awards, and references. Use these platforms to share your insights, stories, and tips on topics related to your niche. For example, if you have volunteered as a web designer, you might create a website that showcases your web design projects for different organizations and share your best practices and trends on web design.

Me gustaría agregar algunos puntos que me han funcionado: La importancia de la pasión. La necesidad de diferenciarse. La importancia de la perseverancia. En mi opinión, la clave para el éxito es combinar la experiencia de voluntariado con una sólida planificación, una ejecución eficaz y una actitud positiva. Además, me gustaría destacar la importancia de la comunidad. Conectarse con otros profesionales, organizaciones y empresas con intereses similares puede ser una gran fuente de apoyo, colaboración y oportunidades.

3 Build your network

The third step is to build your network of potential clients, partners, and supporters. You can use your volunteering experience as a way to connect with people who share your values, interests, and goals. Reach out to the organizations and individuals you have volunteered with and let them know about your business and how you can help them. Ask for referrals, recommendations, and feedback. Join online and offline communities, groups, and events related to your niche and your cause. For example, if you have volunteered as a social media manager, you might join online groups and forums for social media professionals and nonprofits and offer your advice and assistance.

Connect with organisations, stakeholders, funders and recognise who are the best fit for your career and growth. Make meaningful contributions to their work and engage mindfully. Join community groups, mailing lists and forums where you can both learn and offer your services.

4 Set your rates

The fourth step is to set your rates and fees for your services or products. You can use your volunteering experience as a benchmark for your pricing and value. Research the market rates and the demand for your niche and adjust your rates accordingly. Consider your skills, experience, and impact when determining your value proposition. Communicate your rates clearly and confidently to your clients and prospects. For example, if you have volunteered as a translator, you might set your rates based on the language pair, the complexity, and the urgency of the translation.

5 Manage your time

The final step is to manage your time and balance your volunteering and business activities. You can use your volunteering experience as a source of motivation, inspiration, and learning for your business. However, you also need to set boundaries and prioritize your tasks and goals. Create a schedule and a plan that allows you to allocate your time and energy effectively and efficiently. Be flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances and opportunities. For example, if you have volunteered as a photographer, you might plan your photography sessions and projects around your volunteering commitments and events.
