Court Moor School - Youth Volunteering Scheme
We are asking local voluntary and community groups to contact us with ideas for volunteering activities they could run with these students aged 14/15 years old over the coming Spring and Summer terms 2010. The scheme will introduce them to the concepts of volunteering, how to apply for a volunteering role, and give them the opportunity to engage in volunteering with local community and voluntary groups. At the end of the year, the students who have successfully completed at least one unit award will be awarded a certificate of accreditation.
This will supplement their academic qualifications, when applying for places at sixth form or further education colleges, and it is hoped, improve their chances of gaining a student place, in what is becoming an increasingly competitive environment.
Students will be required to complete at least 10 hours of volunteering over the Spring and Summer terms or in the school holidays. It is likely that they will want to work in groups or alongside an adult, but individual volunteering roles will also be needed. It is also likely that they will want to access a volunteering opportunity that is reasonably near to where they live (Fleet, Crookham Village, Church Crookham, Ewshot, Crondall and Dogmersfield).
The students, for the most part, will be carrying out their volunteering in out-of-school hours, although it may also be possible for them to volunteer time within school hours. The school is particularly keen for their young people to be engaged in activities, which will bring them into contact with older people. Some students will already be volunteering, eg through a youth group, such as the Scouts or Guides, and this volunteering activity can also be formally recognised through this accreditation.
