Volunteering your time and services can make an enormous difference in someone’s life. This humbling practice is even more rewarding when you’re with a group of like-minded individuals from your church. A bus charter will help you get to your destination safely for a day of hard work. Here are a few tips for planning the event.

How to Plan a Volunteering Trip

1. Determine Your Cause

The right volunteering project begins with a worthwhile cause. After Sunday service or during a weekly meeting, do some research together to narrow down the list of organizations you’re interested in. If you’re traveling on a bus charter, you can narrow down groups based on the company’s service area.

2. Split Into Groups

Once you’ve chosen an organization and secured your bus charter booking, it’s time to organize the volunteers into groups. This will make it easy for everyone to assemble in the right place when it’s time to work.

There might be some newer members of the church who aren’t familiar with everyone else. Make sure they’re well-integrated by including them in groups with established members who will guide them and help them make friends.

3. Designate Roles

Assigning duties to other volunteers will ensure the workload is properly spread out. If you’re staying overnight, for example, you can make someone responsible for booking accommodations and collecting funds for lodging. If you’re delivering gifts to children’s hospitals, make someone in charge of labeling and packing the items.

When everyone has a job, people are more likely to feel deeply involved and committed from start to finish.
