2) Experienced Volunteers
3) Professional Volunteers
4) Intent Volunteers
*Casual volunteers*are those who render voluntary services either regularly, occasionally or accidentally. He/She has the mind of serving even at d end of him/her not having full experience or knowledge about the task. he just want to be in!
*Expericed Volunteers*: these are you those who know the insights and outside of the task/services they want to render. an experienced volunteer already know how he will render his service and it will satisfy the people or community and even bring back to him moral and other benefits! He don't need to be told what to do bfr he does it!
he will be looked unto as an expert in volunteering!
*Intent Volunteers* These are those that will always want to learn in d process of rendering their service. they see the platform as a learning one for them so they don't want to be out of d system. even if benefits of volunteering doesn't come in, they still render service while they learn from other volunteers!
Professional Volunteers: there is just a slight difference btwn an experienced and a professional volunteer! and the only difference is that an experienced volunteer might be lacking in an aspect in volunteering where he only has an insight of the service while a professional volunteer knows all d aspect of volunteering. its part of him already. he finds joy in doing it 👌🏻
most times, he will even orientate the casuals on how to go about rendering their services that will bring about perfection!
