This is a very relevant post because I think students should be encouraged to so some volunteer work at some stage of their lives. Also, there are so many students who don't know what they want to do after secondary school. Offering the option of volunteer work can help students take the time out to decide what they want to do, rather than just jumping into a course for the sake of it. Also, they will be helping other people and they will become better people as a result. It would a great experience and it's important to make students aware of what's out there. Great blog Aisling, well done!
Very interesting website Aisling.I would strongly urge pupils to get involved in some sort of volunteer work.After researching a number of options myself last year I took the steps and volunteered with the ISPCC last year and worked on Childline. It really opened my eyes to the work that they do and the many problems facing young people these days and lead me to apply for this course. So I would definately encourage everyone to do some volunteer work. It really is so rewarding.
