- Volunteer burnout
- Other areas of their lives start to suffer from lack of attention.
- He or she did not feel appreciated
- Volunteers need to be recognized, respected, appreciated and rewarded as well
- Emotionally and physically drained.
- Volunteers do need some help from other volunteers
- Quality of contributions are equally important to the quantity of contributions
- Volunteers' advice, guidance or suggestion should not be taken as criticisms
- Volunteers are not free, both to the nonprofit and the individuals. Without volunteers, the organization would have to incur the cost of hiring employees. On the other side of the coin, volunteers forgo their valuable resources by committing to the nonprofit.
- Not being reasonably well informed of the nonprofit's activities
- Not being participated in the decision-making process
- Overlooking conflicts of interest, and duty of care and loyalty to the nonprofit
- Unexpectedly experience between the paid staff and volunteers
- Generally, use of volunteers increases cost of training, supervision and liabilities etc. to a nonprofit
