Like many Volunteers I work for more than 1 agency. One of the exciting things about this is the cross pollination of ideas that occurs. Networks, training and ideas gathered in 1 area support the work done in others.
Soon I will be attending a work shop on event planning (as part of my Volunteer work at Volunteering Canterbury). The skills learnt in this workshop will be very useful for my other work at Living Streets (they help organise an annual walk to work event).
- How many Volunteers at your agency work in another?
- What do you know about the work they do in these other agencies?
- How might the experience they gather be shared better than it is now?
- What are the boundaries of what is appropriate for a Volunteer to share between agencies?
I would love to hear your thoughts.
