Who can volunteer for STAR?
STAR welcomes offers of voluntary work from people regardless of race, culture, creed, ethnic or national origin, gender, religious or political belief, ability, health, class, income, marital status, age or sexual orientation.
In return you will gain experience in:
- Dealing with a wide range of people
- Using computers
- Running an office
- Racial equality issues in Early Years education and childcare
STAR asks volunteers to:
- Provide one reference (or two references if carrying out tasks requiring confidentiality or handling cash).
- Complete a short induction, which covers health and safety and a brief outline of STAR’s policies and procedures.
- Notify us by phone if you cannot come.
- Complete a questionnaire at the beginning and at the end of their time with us. This is to help us find suitable tasks for volunteers and to improve our volunteers’ experience of working with us.
Volunteers can expect STAR to:
- Try to match tasks to the volunteer’s own skills and experience. We can sometimes offer training to volunteers who wish to extend their skills.
- Pay volunteers’ travelling expenses (receipts required).
- Supervise volunteers, with help and support available if required.
- Provide a reference for them if required.
