"Volunteering makes you look at the world differently． You see how little things can change a person's life for the better， which makes everyone a better person．" Mason， a volunteer said．
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April． It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements． It is also a perfect opportunity （机会） to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer． Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem， because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations （期望）． Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group． Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities．
The following tips can help if you have some of these worries．
