ESN workshop "The Beginning Volunteer" on 6th Dec 2009

Enthusiastic to embark on your first visit to an elderly home but not sure how you can contribute?
Want to understand more about volunteering in an elderly home?

We believe the key is to 'prepare' the new volunteer with basic skills to undertake the volunteering activities in an elderly related agency. In this workshop, we attempt to cover the various aspects - physiological (Understanding the elderly you are working with) to physical aspects (Basic wheelchair handling) that a new volunteer need to take care of.

“The Beginning Volunteer” workshop also provides a good opportunity to network with volunteers from other elderly sector volunteer agencies and understand how other volunteers conduct their activities. The workshop ends with a sharing session by a volunteer with many years of volunteering experience.
