Activity 2.3
Group work
Background: Being a volunteer in an organization can be a fulfilling and fun
experience, but creating or starting a volunteer organization is another story.
This requires lots of hard work, dedication, and passion to fulfill its goal.
Although there are a lot of things to consider, a successful organization starts
with a well-defined vision, mission, goals, and objective statement. From there,
you can start recruiting your member and serve your purpose.
Task: In a group of five (5), make a Vision, Mission, Goal, and Objective
statement of the volunteer organization of your choice. Brainstorm your ideas
about the cause/purpose of your organization, the target beneficiaries, and its
long-term goal.
Consider the following in making a VMGO statement of your volunteer
organization:
● Identify the specific elements of a cause to focus on.
● Select an obtainable goal in order to guide your organization.
● Determine the action steps that your organization will take.
● Combine your focus, objection, and action steps to write a mission statement.
● Create a name for your volunteer group/organization.
