hiya! welcome to TCV Glasgow what do you know about us? if you dont know much about little old us lets start fresh! our newest project is the volunteering skills award which is a work in progress so be kind! to tell you more it is an accredited award SCQF level 5 or the equivalent to an NC, we have 7 participants who are all fun and quirky! on our last venture we discovered and explored the idea of volunteering, which entailed a blend of outdoor work and indoor work, we started by getting to know each other and found out what types of volunteering we do from TCV to youth vision we were all diverse we then asked the question What does volunteering mean to you? think about it, it is different for every volunteer as we soon found. we then went outside scary i know! we were stranded in the woods and had to make shelter! some were er.. unique and others shone above others we had to work as a team and soon discovered what type of worker we were some were leaders and some were great listeners after that.. experience, we participated in team games some were funny and fell in the mud and others won the gold! after that venture we back indoors… thankfully! we sat down and discovered the different types of voluntary organisations which are private, public and voluntary this made us think about what we did and were we wanted to be a goal if you like. We then went on to do our SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunities and threats) we found some were good at blogging as you can tell and others were bad at saying no! the last thing we embarked on was what we wanted from the course and what we wanted to achieve by the end of it so we said we needed support and trust from TCV and we wanted to know and learn as much as possible by the end of the course so there you have it folks! until next month will keep you posted see you soon 🙂
