The document outlines four priorities for responsible volunteering: sustainability, safety, sharing, and support. It discusses questions volunteers should consider around whether projects are sustainable year-round or depend on volunteers, who is responsible for projects, and how projects are financed. It also addresses safety measures for volunteers and projects, the ability to communicate with past volunteers and how donations are spent, preparation for volunteers and projects, and post-volunteer support and ensuring volunteer contributions were worthwhile.
