Getting involved on a committee is a great way to support a cause that you are passionate about. Becoming a volunteer trustee, director or committee/board member is both rewarding and challenging. You develop your leadership, problem solving and teamwork skills while at the same time ensuring that the group or organisation continues to exist and thrive.
You do not need to have years of experience and although professional experience can be useful, often having enthusiasm for the group or organisation, or lived experience related to its mission, is just as important.
