[quote=Anonymous]Don't count on volunteerism to fill your intellectual needs, or even social ones for that matter. Many organizations are filled with people who are fiercely territorial about their volunteer positions, are very clannish and will typically give newbies all the mindless crap work to do. Keep in mind that "newbies" can mean you've ONLY been with them for a few years rather than a decade or more like others. I've volunteered with almost half a dozen different organizations since my early retirement. They often like doing things their way which is often antiquated, outdated and not useful. Volunteered with an organization which sorely needed to raise funds. Per their request, I developed a simple fundraising and communication plan for them. They ignored it and continued to do things the way they've done it for 20 years. [/quote]
