Again and for the umpteenth time we read in a note, in this case from El Sol de León, information from a civil society organization that is unable to recruit volunteers. In this case it is the local Red Cross. There are several factors why people do not approach an association, which can be classified in at least three cases: 1. Lack of ability of the organization to create profiles 2. Even when there is a volunteer program in the organization, the coordinator does not have knowledge about people's motivations and why they volunteer 3. The social circumstances around to the community In the case of the León Red Cross, it is known that the situation that the community is experiencing is what has discouraged collaboration. The note says: this “…is caused by the high rates of insecurity that have occurred in the entity and in turn affects the institution not meeting the established goals.” In particular, the CR seeks volunteers to support the annual collection, but parents prefer that their adolescent children remain safe at home. Who knows what will happen if the CR will reach the goal of raising 2 million pesos. But reviewing what happens regarding why a coordinator of a volunteer group sometimes does not consider various factors to bring people together is that they do not give the necessary importance to the motivations for which they could provide service. Instead, a whole large collection of prejudices arise, accumulate and come between people, inhibiting a healthy relationship between the group or organization and potentially volunteering people. Why does this happen? In general, there is an absence in the preparation of volunteer coordinators in management matters.
One of the most common mistakes is dismissing Finland Mobile Number List the motivations for why people volunteer. Broadly speaking, motivations are classified into two broad fields: “hetero-help” and “self-help.” The first focus the impulse of generosity on altruism, that is, people care and take care of other people. The other field, with equal relevance, is that the individual who helps seeks to be a better person. As can be reflected on both motivations, there can of course be creative impulses and others of corruption, the latter understood as attitudes taken to the extreme that are detrimental to both the volunteer group, the community benefited by the voluntary action and the volunteer. In the broad spectrum of these two areas of motivation in coordinators (as is natural in all people) there are prejudices regarding whether it is worth “allowing a person to be a volunteer who only looks out for themselves.” Thus, a clear example is the criticism that is made because a woman only goes to the group or association to provide voluntary service when there is a public event and she has the “possibility of being in the photo.” The accusations ensue: “she never helps”, “she only does it for her own interest”, “she doesn't care about the group, she only takes advantage of it”, etc. A skillful coordinator detects this motivation (personal satisfaction that is located in self-help) and relies on it to take advantage of the generous impulse, channel it and enhance it. That is, in one's own interest is the raw material to stimulate the participation of others. There is nothing wrong with the volunteer feeling that he gains something and we are not referring to money, but to tangible and non-tangible satisfiers.
Therefore, every time a volunteer service profile is prepared, it is advisable to consider and take into account the type of motivation of the person who will occupy that supportive position because knowing the people will structure the system of gratitude to retain them as volunteers in the organization. Citizens working Celebrates XV years of the INDESOL Strengthening program Ramiro Serna Castillo and Cecilia Rodríguez Dorantes led a working meeting with the strengthening organizations that will participate in this year's training activities that will benefit 11 locations. There it was learned that the strengthening program of the National Institute of Social Development (INDESOL) is completing its first three decades. Cecilia Rodríguez indicated that “in truth the meeting was very significant because it meant a beginning and an end. "A start of another edition of the strengthening program while, on the other hand, it is the end of a cycle of the present administration." The Director of Research and Professionalization of Indesol recalled that 15 years ago they began strengthening work for civil society organizations. The first call was launched on July 4, 2003. Since then, the diploma course has been based on two principles: on the one hand, that INDESOL did not participate in providing the training, but that it was the civil society organizations themselves who were responsible for this work. . But on the other hand, it would not be a matter of looking for organizations that were “all-inclusive” but rather those that taught a module had great expertise and mastery of the subject.
