Volunteering is the act of giving your time and services to another person or organization without the expectation of monetary reward. You should first choose an organization to volunteer with. When you know who you wish to offer your services to, you can write a letter asking to volunteer by explaining your reasons for volunteering, expressing interest in a particular volunteer position, and discussing the ways in which your skills and experiences can benefit others. Knowing how to write a volunteer letter and what information to include could help you land a life-changing role at an organization you care about.
