Let's face it, most people who volunteer are passionate about helping people - but for some influencing social change is also important. Volunteering for a campaigning organisation allows volunteers to help make things happen for large charities. Find out what the grass roots activists get up to here.

YAA+personal development

Hi People,

I hope your enjoying my blogs and there not too boring!

Well I had a meeting yesterday to double check how I was going with running the award with YPRAG whether I was doing it right.  As I don't want to get too far ahead of myself in doing this work with the group and then it being written up wrong. 

I got some tips on how to evidence what the young people do more as sometimes its hard to evidence it even though you know the young people are leading in whatever challenge they set.  Which was good. You have to keep a diary of hours and things you do and I've just been using what I developed for the young people in the group to use.  Not anymore though I'm going to use a proper diary so  I can describe more how i feel about how im progressing as well as what I'm doing.

I'm also seriously thinking about going into Youth work or teaching as I progress through my own Platinum Award.  As I really enjoy working with the group through thier award and getting a feel for what it would be like.  Not to blow my own trumpet or anything but I think I would be quiet good at it. ha!

So the group are coming along nicely in doing thier Youth Achievement Award and I'm leading it right which is what I was worried I was doing it wrong.
