Q - What sorts of jobs do volunteers typically perform?
A – The answer to this question depends on what skills the volunteers have. For example, if a carpenter volunteers for A Day for Africa the volunteer coordinator will make every effort to ensure that his/her skills and expertise are used most effectively by assigning an appropriate task. It should be noted, however, that the majority of tasks are labor intensive such as yard work, house cleaning, etc.
Q – If tools are required for the work, who supplies them?
A – If required, it is the responsibility of whoever “hires” the volunteers to supply the necessary tools.
Q – How much is one expected to donate in return for “hiring” volunteers?
A – There is no set rate, but we hope to receive an amount that is equal to what one would normally pay if a professional was hired to do the job. In other words, if you regularly pay someone $50.00 CAD to mow your lawn, we would hope to receive the same when our volunteers do it. Additional donations are always welcome, however.
