Would you like to work with young volunteers in your organisation?

During this training session, we will be exploring all aspects of how to work with young volunteers, from recruitment and logistics to safeguarding.

This webinar will be led by Eleanor Moore the Sustainable Volunteering Officer with the Museum Development South West Programme. Her background is in social and community history curatorship and advisory work within the museums sector, with experience of managing volunteer teams.

She will be joined by Sebastian Amos, Chair of Trustees and Adam Marsden, Young Volunteer at Transport Museum Wythall and Rania Nur, former Young Volunteer, now Trustee at the Museum of the Home. They will be sharing case studies about the young volunteer programmes in their organisations.

The session will help delegates to:

understand the importance of this work
think about how to develop young volunteer roles
gain inspiration from case studies to take your own work forward
understand good practice around safeguarding and young volunteers.

This training event will be delivered virtually on Zoom over one half-day session (two hours and 30 minutes with a short break).

Who should attend?

This training is aimed at staff who work in museums, art galleries and heritage sites who are interested in developing or improving their provision for young volunteers. Voluntary volunteer co-ordinators, whose main role is to lead day-to-day on the involvement of volunteers and/or young people, would also benefit from this session.
