Introduction
Our Workshop
The Volunteering For All workshop introduces young people to the key concepts around volunteerism, it challenges them to create a volunteering charter and survey volunteering that currently takes place.
Volunteering For All is about demonstrating the spirit of volunteerism, it is not a measure of the quantity of volunteering taking place.
The award celebrates diversity and demonstrates that each of us has a positive contribution to make to the place in which we live.
This workshop typically takes two hours and can facilitate up to 30 people. During the workshop, we utilise a number of active learning methodologies.
For insurance and child protection purposes a member of school/group staff must be present for the duration of the workshop.
During the workshop young people will:
- Explore volunteerism
- Create a Volunteering For All Charter
- Discover why diversity is crucial to volunteering
- Be challenged to survey their peers about volunteering
If successful after completing the workshop in completing the two challenges, your school/community group will receive the Volunteering For All Award.
The Challenge
Since 2007 Localise has worked in partnership with schools, engaging young people from all backgrounds and nationalities in volunteering.
The Localise programme combines education with youth volunteering and integration.
The Workshop
A two-hour workshop facilitated by a professional member of Localise staff, a maximum of 30 young people and member of school/community group staff will lay the foundation of celebrating the diversity and voluntary work in your school/community group through the creation of a Volunteering For All Charter. This charter is the first challenge of two to receive the Award.
The Survey
Young people are to survey and record volunteering already taking place in the school amongst the student body and staff via a pre-made online survey. To successfully pass this challenge, a 70% response rate of the student body must be obtained.
The Award
Once the young people successfully complete these challenges (with the support and guidance from Localise staff) your school/community group will receive the Volunteering For All Award. Localise will return to your school/community group for a short celebratory presentation highlighting key findings from the survey regarding the diversity and voluntary work being done by the young people in the school/community group. The award presentation can be delivered to the entire school/community group, or to whomever you feel most appropriate."
Localise sees itself as a partner in this process and will be available to assist with these challenges if required.
The survey is premade and is conducted online using Survey Monkey.
Localise is fully compliant with GDPR.
