Volunteering Program
Our volunteers work in our Neighbourhood House office as well as our Learning program office.
Springvale Neighbourhood House has developed a structured volunteer program which will ensure:
Volunteers will have a weekly roster which includes administrative hours, group/class support, and English/computer training based upon individual volunteer training needs assessment
Onsite health and safety orientation
External volunteer orientation training with focus on volunteering and confidentiality
Compliance for volunteers on CentreLink mutual obligation agreements'
To be able to tailor a program to support our volunteers, SNH requires detailing of current interests and future goals. This was enable SNH to support the volunteer throughout their 12-month volunteering program ensuring that they are progressing towards their respective goal.
The volunteer is required to complete a registration form including emergency contact person and will then receive a written offer outlining the individual volunteer program and compliance obligations. The program includes working with the training programs held by South East Volunteers that are a free service. This will enable the volunteers to have a clear understanding of what is required as a volunteer or a session that is more defined for a specific type of volunteer.
The volunteers involved in the program will meet with the SNH management to discuss the progression of the program and if there is anything else we can do to support their time in the SNH Volunteer Program or changes we can make to the program .
SNH feel that this will ensure that all volunteers attending the program will leave after 12-months with a better understanding of administration, working in a community setting and a certificate for a training course that will support them for future volunteer positions or employment.
Not only being equipped with the right tools for the future, but making a positive contribution to your community and giving back to the people.
