Can I choose where I volunteer?


By syriaadmin - Posted on 03 July 2008

When we set up your volunteer opportunity, we take three factors into consideration:

1) the expressed needs of the organizations in Damascus
2) Your skills and talents (based on an assesment of your application) and
3) Your preferences and interests.

We will work hard to to find a volunteer placement that is right for you. And please feel free to contact us regarding any strong preferences. We won't, however, guarantee that you will automatically get your top choice. And you will not know where you are volunteering before you submit your application. Once your application and application fee is turned in, we will begin the process of setting up a place for you to volunteer.
