I promise to keep my volunteer hours in check

VOLUNTEER PLEDGE

I promise to keep my volunteer hours in check,

to keep my spirit and my family first and,

to make sure I ask for help when I start to feel overwhelmed.

I vow to compare myself to no one -

my time and contributions are my own special gift and,

to feel proud that I can do what I do.

I vow to compare no one to myself,

to recognise everyone gives their best of their time and abilities,

to always remember it is the pieces that make the whole.

I pledge to accept less than perfect,

to always remember I am a volunteer and,

to celebrate the joy in making a difference.
