Volunteers might go into the experience with high expectations and hope that it will change their life forever. However, volunteering may not always be the experience people expect it to be. If volunteers don\u2019t receive the right support from their volunteer managers or the organisation they are volunteering for then they might feel isolated and disappointed with their experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Volunteers may have different expectations depending on the organization and the specific role they are volunteering for. These expectations may vary from person to person and from one organisation to another.
