An Unintentional, Volunteer Involvement Career

Ruth Leonard gets right to the point: “I never intentionally planned to become a Volunteer Involvement professional. I wonder how many of us do?” In this Engage feature, Leonard continues this issue’s feature focus on why and how people choose life-long careers in Volunteer Management – intentionally or not. Leonard’s personal reflection describes how she started out with a Certificate in Journalism, wanting to be a journalist in a press team of national health charity. Instead, she was offered a role on the Volunteering team, and her unintentional career path began. As she walks readers through her own personal journey, Leonard’s richly-detailed and thoughtful perspective will no doubt resonate with many Volunteer Engagement professionals.
