What is a Volunteer?

Volunteer

(n): A person that that actively takes on a task, responsibility, or project on his or her own accord without needing to be assigned, ordered, or told to do so. Often a volunteer is not paid for the work that they provide. For example, a volunteer may desire to work at a company's charitable events with or without pay and may even request to do so without being asked or told to. (BusinessDictionary.com)

We are in the process of finalising our Volunteer Handbook, but it takes a little more expertise than our non-volunteer paid staff members possess. Please generate some enthusiasm by looking at the linked document, and then, if the Handbook is not available yet, contact wim@actuarialsociety.org.za to find out more.
