    You need to be clear for which field you would like to volunteer your services. It is unfair to ask the person who is volunteering his/her services to pay. Also remember, you will not get paid too.

    It is like the first rug of a social ladder where you are getting committed for a social cause.


    Every institution, NGO, Trust which invites volunteers have an application form format which comes with DISCLAIMER where you the rules are mentioned to avoid legal hassles.
