Preparing for heritage volunteering
This unit is designed to prepare the learners to participate in volunteering activity. Learners will carry out pre-activity research to determine what to expect when volunteering and typical roles and responsibilities of a volunteer. They will then participate in an activity, risk assess the activity and evaluate performance. Learners will identify future skills development and volunteering opportunities.
Members of Clackmannanshire Economic Regeneration Trust in Alloa have undertaken the Preparing for heritage volunteering unit and completed their training with a volunteering session at The Japanese Garden at Cowden.
