Seeking out strategic volunteer work is similar to seeking out paid work. There’s effort involved, from researching organizations and conducting information meetings, to reviewing volunteer postings, targeting your resume, and attending an interview.  

This is a great opportunity to practice your career management skills!

Update or create your LinkedIn account:  
LinkedIn is a professional social media platform you can use as a research and networking tool to access volunteer or career postings and follow companies and interest groups.  If LinkedIn is new you, check out this Video: Tips from LinkedIn on Building a Profile

There are also safety aspects that you will want to consider.

Criminal Records Check
Some organizations require a Criminal Records Check.  There are different types of checks; some can be applied online and others may require you visit your local police department.  

Virtual job search safety is just as important in your search for strategic volunteerism as it is in your career.
