School Volunteer
Are you looking for a new challenge? Could you visit schools in your local area to deliver assemblies and workshops about CAFOD’s work?
About this opportunity from CAFOD (Catholic Agency for Overseas Development)
Looking for a new challenge? Could you visit schools in your local area to deliver assemblies and workshops about CAFOD’s work and encourage young people to take action with CAFOD? No experience necessary. Full support, resources and regular training provided.
From an early age, children and young people have a keen sense of justice. School volunteers inform and inspire them, helping them to turn their passion for justice into real action. With school volunteers’ input, they learn to care for their global sisters and brothers, both now and as they grow up.
As a school volunteer you will visiting schools to deliver assemblies and interactive classroom sessions. You will be building positive relationships with an agreed number of schools, encouraging them to book further visits and to act with CAFOD for a fairer world. You will prepare for visits using materials such as PowerPoint presentations, posters and activity ideas provided by CAFOD. Following the visit, you’ll be asked to complete a short feedback form after every visit, to keep the local CAFOD team up to date with your contact with schools.
