About the event

During the workshop, we’ll explore the different types of volunteering opportunities available locally and online, and how to find roles that match your interests, values, and availability. You’ll learn how to identify reputable organisations, understand what commitment is expected, and make the most of your experience.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of volunteering, where to find opportunities, and how to take your first step.
