Being Active in Youth Organization


     In several cases, people who join an organization can feel bored for a few times after they joined it. Whether the reason is because a same daily activity in there, or because the same people in any chance, or because they didn’t feel comfort with the rule, vission and mission of the organization.
     It’s normal, because sometime people need some changes, a dynamic life so they can feel enjoy to through their time in the organization. But it becoming abnormal if the case the people didn’t observe all about the organization first, or they just join it without don’t know what they will gonna do in the future.
     So, how we can handle it, so that we’re never stuck in such as that situation. There are some tips about being active in any organization, especially we are the youth that still have a spirit to distribute our wants in a positive way, such as in youth organization. Because we are the youth of the nation. Active in organization to develop our passion, our vission, our goal, our dream to change the world with a little contribution but can give a big change.
     Here’s some tips for you the youth and the people who have a passionate soul like youth, to being more active in some organizations. There are three tips; tips before you join the organization, along you joining the organization and after you done with duty in your organization.

A.  Before :
1. Read your own mind about “where your ideas to go?”. Before you determine to joining an organization, you have to know yourself, know about your passion, your vission and your mission. Are they match with the organization has or not. If you can find your passion, vission and mission in there, so you can do it there.
2. Try to see it deeper. Try to find its strength and weakness, so if you found the strength perhaps you can develop it with your ability and optmalize it as good as possible. And if you found the weakness, you can contribute more to developin the organization as possible as you can do.
3. Find or invite more friends, so you won’t feel bored along your time in there. Because sometime, there’s still a people who feel awkward or shy to meet a new friend, too much follow their ego than follow the reality. We live in the social, so we have to socialize.
4. The last but not least, before you join the organization, you’re not allowed to always think a profit or a money interest, such as a money oriented thought. Make it as a mutualism symbiosis, so you can distribute your passion and the organization will get what its goals.

B. Along :
1.Think one step forward. Learn more about some organizational theories, such as organization behaviour, the culture of organization, administration field, even the most important knowledge when you’re joining the organization, there are management and communication field. Both of them is a supported lesson about your do’s in the organization. Management is for increase your ability about managing something light or urgent things, and the communication is a base guideline to communicate with your seniors, colleagues, partners or even with your sponsorship companies.
2. Increase your flight time with learning by doing. So after you well-know about the theories above, you can implement what you know in the real practice. You can get more by doing what you’ve learnt.
3. Set yourself when you’re trusted to be the one of the committee. Say yes if you’ve been ready, or just say no if you think you’re not ready for the current time. So if you just say yes for any chance, sometimes it’ll be useless what you’ve done jst because you never feel set about the responsibility.
4. Have some mentors, but you have to can distinguish who’s the good one and who’s the bad one, and it’s hard to see. Sometimes a bad one can act like a good and a kind person. But he/she can “stabbed” you in the back, so be wise for every possibility.
5. Sincere or whole-hearted to do anything, don’t put any personal expectations like you wanna get earn from your effort, because it’s very bad thought. For example is you joining an organization just because you wanna get a girl/boyfriend or you just want to put it in your curriculum vitae, but do maximize all your good goals. So, same with before you join it, you hace to think and do a mutualism symbiosis. Get your goals each other.
6. Do teamwork. That’s why it named organization, everything inside it is work as team, don’t do independently, you have to share everything with the others, as long as you didn’t share your girl/boyfriend.
7. Find your successor, to continuing your efforts and your steps in the organization, because we can do all the plans along our time in there, so you can share your experiences to the new one, so that they can understand about what are they supposed to do and it’s a way to regenerate your organization.
8. Ask some feedbacks from your friends, partners, seniors and other members or the committees. It use to develop yourself in another way outside, can make yourself better in all the way.

C. After :
1. Keep in touch with keep making a contact with the new generation about the organization development, Or with participated to come in any event, so you can know the new one, and they also can know about your existence in the organization.
2. Take care with your organization, such as give them some donation if your organization is being a bad situation, but don’t too frequently give a donation, because it can make them always dependence with some donations. The good way is you give donation but don’t forget to give them some suggestion to make money by themselves, like an entrepreneur way.
