Sometimes there will be barriers to you doing volunteer work e.g.:
Insurance Placements / roles not suitable Organisational culture a bit dodgy
The upside far outweighs the downside
Can I expect barriers when I volunteer?

Short term / project / longer term Some sort of induction Insurance coverage Clear expectations Someone to report to Not to be abused – a good working
environment Reimbursements recognition
What can I expect?
