Working with volunteers Encourage everyone from our community to volunteer Match volunteers with opportunities Support and encourage our volunteers Provide information and advice on additional training

Working with Organisations Encourage them to engage in Moving Towards Excellence Promote good practice and provide training Highlight forthcoming events Support and encourage them to develop new opportunities

Volunteer Champions Overall aim: A team of pupils volunteering to promote volunteering culture within a school environment Working together: Turnbull High School and Volunteer Centre East Dunbartonshire have piloted this concept

Target Audience Any young person who would like to consider volunteering Teachers - employer supported volunteering For some pupils a one off volunteer opportunity is more rewarding Insurance issues under 16 years – pupils would be signposted to an internal volunteer opportunity or a group activity

Volunteer Champions Volunteer Champions have : Received training from the Volunteer Centre – team building, project planning, marketing, presentation skills (5weeks) + additional training Shaped the structure and future developments of this project Participated in events to promote volunteering - school in-service days, presentations at parent Council Organise and create new volunteering opportunities within the school

Volunteer Champions Volunteer Champions have: Established an “internal market” for volunteering Completed Volunteer Audits to register each opportunity within the school Encouraged others to volunteer Helped pupils gain awards and recognition through volunteering Created a volunteering hub Created publicity materials and influenced the project’s development Had Fun !!

Workshop 2 : Reflective Questions By considering the discussions from the Learner Journeys Workshop, and the good practice presentations you have just heard, identify some key steps to address your key challenges, identified during the initial discussions this morning? How can you ensure that good quality, targeted information, advice and guidance (IAG) is provided to every young person making the school/post school transition?

Workshop 2 : Reflective Questions Identify the steps you will take to further raise awareness of 16+ Learning Choices with other colleagues, your wider community, parents and most importantly with the young people you engage with? How can you ensure that your partnerships involve a wide range of organisations to fully support all young people? How are you ensuring that you can deliver the Senior Phase entitlements for vulnerable young people - including looked after young people and care leavers; those with learning disabilities; those involved in the justice system; young carers and interrupted learners?
