VOLUNTEERING

Would you like to become a volunteer?

Afghanistan and Central Asian Association is a place where volunteering is exciting, vibrant and diverse and where everyone feels that they can make a difference.“

Volunteering is about being part of a community, being a good neighbour, being involved in giving and receiving. You can make a difference, whether it’s at one off events or on a regular basis.

Volunteering can give you many benefits:
• Use your free time in an enjoyable and positive way
• Share your interests, knowledge and experience
• Explore career options or a career change
• Learn new skills, and gain valuable experience for work or further education
• Get involved in your community, and gain a sense of achievement
• Meet new people, and gain references for future jobs

What can you do?

There is a vast range of volunteering available now; you can do something with people, in office, organise cultural events and seminars. You can also work with young refugees, help the organisation with fund raising and support children with their home work.

You might want to do administration, finance or join our management committee.

When you are trying to decide what it is you are going to do, make sure that it is something that you are going to enjoy and be happy with.

One to One Advice Sessions

Afghanistan and Central Asian Association provides outreach services, giving you an opportunity to talk to an experienced advisor about what you want from volunteering.

To attend one of these sessions you would need to call us on 020 73580222 or 07727243263 and make an appointment.

You will be able to discuss what it is you want from your volunteering, and what interests you whilst we compare your interests to the range of opportunities available.

I work full time, can I do voluntary work?

Volunteers are needed at different times of day, or at weekends. Some can even be done from home.

Please contact us, we are more than happy to help you.
