I sent in an application to volunteer, its been like three weeks, should I make a follow up call?

Well I emailed it to them about three weeks ago, and haven't heard anything. Should I make a follow-up call?


What should I say? I've never applied for anything other than like..clubs at school. lol So this is my first time sending in a real application to some place. I don't know what to do or say...I sent in an application to volunteer, its been like three weeks, should I make a follow up call?
Definitely call them if you are still interested.





Sometimes emails get lost due to computer glitches, get filtered out by spam filters; sometimes under-staffed non-profit agencies just don't have the manpower to process volunteer applications promptly, which means they can use good volunteers to help out.





Keep it simple: call and let them know you are still interested and would like to know if you can come in and speak with someone about volunteering. Most non-profit agencies provide training for their volunteers, but they might have group training that they only do every month or so. Ask lots of questions about their organization and the types of positions that are available.





Good luck.I sent in an application to volunteer, its been like three weeks, should I make a follow up call?
Absolutely follow up with a call or live visit. I just started training for CASA and i did both. Lots of people think about volunteering and reach out and then never show up so the organizations get a little cautious.


Good luck!
A follow up call would not be out of line,since you volunteered. Emails are not always a given for response.A call in this situation,would be a way to convey sincerity.








Call,give your name,wait for a response to your name,say I m calling to inquire if you have recieved my application for the opening of -------,Has it been filled as of yet?I would like this postion if it is available.





It will give them a opening to look you up in the records,or inform you if it has yet to be determined .Often there is a protocol that may be important to the postion.
yes tell them you are interested in helping.
