2010 & Beyond Group Leader
Project overview
2009 & Beyond is a three day education event for primary schools organised by a partnership involving Action 21 and Councils from Coventry, Warwickshire and Rugby.
The event is held at Coombe Country Park (near Coventry) and involves a series of interactive and inspiring environmental education activities for 1,500 eight to ten year olds from 45 schools across the area.
Principal Function of Volunteer
As a Group Leader you will guide a group of children around the activities, support the children in participating in the activities as required and ensure that the group is generally looked after and happy. You will not be involved in disciplining the children as their school teacher will be present at all times
Benefits:
This one-off volunteering activity provides a very simple and easy way to do something positive in your community, learn more about Action 21’s activities and of course have loads of fun volunteering with children for the day!
As a volunteer you’ll be part of the wider network of Action 21’s volunteers. This means you’ll receive regular updates and information on the projects and events we’re involved in as well as any social events we organise.
We also believe that volunteers should not be out of pocket for donating their time and effort and so we pay back all volunteers’ reasonable travel expenses.
Skills/Qualifications/Experience sought:
No particular experience or skills are required as full training and support will be provided. Volunteers should enjoy working with children and be enthusiastic about the role.
