How can I manage my anxiety while volunteering?

It's common to feel anxious when volunteering. Have you identified what specifically makes you anxious?

I get nervous meeting new people and speaking in front of groups.

That’s understandable. You might try practicing deep breathing exercises before events to help calm your nerves.

What if I still feel anxious even after that?

If anxiety persists, consider volunteering in smaller groups or roles that require less public speaking to build your confidence.

That sounds helpful! Any tips for staying positive?

Focus on the positive impact you're making and remind yourself that everyone feels nervous sometimes.
