What’s involved?
Generate is a unique entry level volunteer program that exposes young people to the aid and development sector through active campaigning. As a Generator, you will attend weekly sessions that develop your practical skills and train you to be an effective agent of change.
Running from mid-March to mid-October, the Generate program is a seven-month commitment of roughly 6-8 hours a week. Generate is designed to fit in around work and university semesters, with breaks in the lead up to and during exams.
Why should people do this?
Generate volunteers will have the opportunity to:
*Undertake training in areas such as public speaking, facilitation, delegation, event management, promotions, and lobbying activities;
*Expand your knowledge base and gain valuable experience in the aid and development sector;
*Plan and manage your own fundraising and advocacy event;
*Develop the practical skills to be an effective campaigner in your community and the political arena;
*Create new educational opportunities for young people in the developing world; and,
*Work alongside other talented, creative and dedicated young individuals.
