Action Action involves the service project itself. There are three primary ways that volunteers serve: Direct: Providing service directly to individuals at the agency site or in the community. Examples include: - tutoring children
- holding a party for residents of a nursing home
- serving meals in a meal program
Non-direct: Serving at an agency doing behind-the-scenes assistance, not directly with individuals the agency serves. Examples include: - making presents for patients at Children's Hospital but not working with the children
- sorting food in a food distribution center
- painting the exterior of a housing program for individuals experiencing homelessness
- helping with a major mailing at a nonprofit organization
Indirect: Serving on behalf of an issue, population or community of concern, but removed from the actual site. Examples include: - raising money for a nonprofit organization
- organizing an auction to raise awareness and money
- making care packages for residents of a nursing home
