What inspired you to take part in this volunteering activity?
I thought that it would be a great way to see how other organisations are working and to see how we can engage other young people to be part of our team.
What did you enjoy about this volunteering activity?
The thing i enjoyed the most is seeing everyone working collaboratively and having an input for our end goal, however big or small there contribution was.
Has it helped you improve your job prospects and if so, how?
I was made events manager for this event so it has definitely improved many of my managerial and social skills throughout this project.
How has this project helped you develop personally and in ways that might help you at work?
I have learnt various different and new skills and also improved on the ones i already had but it has also given me insight on my own leadership skills and how I come across to people, I’ve learnt to take criticism and to improve myself when and where needed.
2. THE PROJECT
What sort of things did you get up to on the project?
As I was events manager I had to make sure that everyone knew what they were doing and how they were going to do it. I also took a step back in the meetings that were held so that i could see the potential in other members and see what they were going to be doing and where there strengths lied. As the event got closer I did a lot of ordering around to get tasks done and also took on many for myself.
Was the project everything you expected?
Yes and so much more. My first conception of the project was that everyone would pitch in and work hard, i saw this as a time to see where people would take the lead and to take advantage of situations to improve and better themselves.
Will you continue to be involved? Why?
Yes, I love the Youth Action Team and what they do. The goals that the YAT have, which are to create volunteering opportunities for young people is something that all young people want to do. There’s always something new and exciting that we are able to deliver.
3. THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
What impact do you think this project has had on your local community?
