There are many ways to find out information about the organization for which you will be volunteering. In addition to talking to someone from the organization, it can be helpful to look at the organization's website. Try taking a look at any "About Us" pages, and keep an eye out for links relating to the history or mission of the organization. Some organizations may have publications that might also be worth looking at.
