If you have a skill you’d like to use as a consultant, or maybe you’d like to get a job in a new area, volunteering can provide a good space for you to test this out without having demanding paying customers.

For those of us with full-time jobs, I would probably recommend volunteering in “stints” - like a month or two, after which you take a break. But in the end, remember that the new team is unlikely to control your hours and won’t think about your workload like they would of an employee, especially if your commitment is small in comparison to a full-time job. Whatever you say you can take on, they’ll happily give you, so make sure you have boundaries.

my tip would be to be very honest with yourself about how many hours you really have and then don’t go over them, even if the organisations ask you to.
