Today’s issue of Blue Avocado includes an article I wrote on working with young people as volunteers. It offers tips on dealing with risks and potential liabilities, and details my own deep, dark past as a child volunteer. (Well, not so deep and dark. But certainly long ago . . . .)
Check it out at: http://blueavocado.org/content/when-kids-volunteer-liability-basics.
The blog is written by Ilona Bray, a Nolo editor and the author of Effective Fundraising for Nonprofits: Real-World Strategies That Work. Ilona has worked and volunteered for nonprofit organizations in practically every imaginable capacity, from staff attorney to development director to book-sale coordinator to advisory board member.
Among Ilona’s most memorable experiences were passing out HIV+ literature in Guatemala, researching U.N programs as a legal intern for Amnesty International in London, and representing (pro bono) disabled, low-income people seeking Social Security benefits in Washington, DC.
