Volunteering Project
With ACOMREDE you can undertake two types of volunteer work:
Volunteer mentors
These people help develop another person's career or further education by providing one-to-one support over a short period.
Office volunteers help in either administration or development work of ACOMREDE.
Office Volunteers
Most people find it difficult to get employment because they do not have prior work experience in a specific field of work. Few employers offer jobs to persons who do not have work experience ,yet without a job one cannot get work experience. Thus a lot of disadvantaged individuals get caught in a catch twenty-two situation. ACOMREDE offers voluntary positions either as volunteer mentors or as office volunteers to address this issue. ACOMREDE mentors get work experience as well as many other benefits.
Those other benefit include
- Upgrade their current knowledge
- Gain new knowledge
- Exposure to different cultures and environments
- Improve employability prospects
- Recognition by individuals and institutions
- New contacts and wider networking
- Increase self-esteem and self-confidence
- Receive a good training that includes, communication, coaching and counseling skills and knowledge on equality legislation, confidentiality policy and cultural sensitivity
- Exposure to one's own true potential
ACOMREDE limits volunteer work with it to six months in order to offer the opportunities to others. It has developed many volunteers in this manner and many have found paid employment.
ACOMREDE is alway on the look out for volunteers.
