Aim of Programme
This unique programme sets out to recognise and reward the great contribution so many are making in society through their efforts in a voluntary capacity. It also seeks to assist them through the creation of a common language and understanding of the dynamics of volunteerism. Participants must currently be engaged in volunteering to be eligible to attend as the assessment will be around your practice in that volunteering role. The minimum volunteering time required to pass the module is 40 hours or three or four hours per week over one semester.
Assessment is based on the student’s reflective report and presentation and not the outcome or impact of the volunteering activity.
