So, Clare here trying out my first officical Blog post about whats going on down at the ol' Volunteer Centre Greenwich (VCG- where our project is held).
Why do Young People in Greenwich Volunteer?
I've been involved in doing some research for the project looking at why young people might/might not volunteer and the current perceptions and attitudes that young people have of volunteering.
We had a meeting on Monday with the assitant director of VCG, about the prospect of doing this research and how it might help us all get a better insight into how to market volunteering to young people and get more and more invovled!
I'm currently in the process of writing up the notes I have made from case studies and completed research on this area, which have highlighted some interesting points (I'll try get some up here soon) and hopefully we can get some evidence of our own focused in Greenwich soon!
We are keen to create action groups to help get the research going. This will mean composing internet surveys, distributing them, holding disscussion groups and even creating podcasts and visual media to gain peoples views and opinions!
If we have any people who are could help us out it would be amazing, as its proving to be a big job! Give us an email or facebook message!
