How can I build my confidence while volunteering?

Building confidence in volunteering starts with setting small, achievable goals. What type of volunteering are you interested in?

I'm thinking about helping at a local animal shelter.

That's a great choice! Start by observing how things are done, and then gradually take on small tasks. Would you like tips on specific tasks?

Yes, what tasks should I start with?

You could begin with simple tasks like feeding the animals or cleaning their spaces. These tasks can help you feel more comfortable.

That sounds manageable! How can I overcome my fear of interacting with people?

Practice makes perfect! Start with brief interactions, like greeting other volunteers. Gradually, you can engage in longer conversations.
