Setting boundaries (English)

Learning to recognize your own boundaries and how to guard those boundaries. Once you recognize yours, you can also learn to ‘say no’. Many volunteers have difficulty saying ‘no’, often because they want to maintain a good relationship with their buddy or confidant. But that doesn’t have to get in each other’s way. Making your boundaries known also creates clarity. This way you can do your volunteer work under circumstances that you and your participant feel good about.

Objective and content
