TEAM LONDON SCHOOLS’ VOLUNTEERING CONFERENCE
TEAM LONDON SCHOOLS’ VOLUNTEERING CONFERENCE
Apa Shabana, attended the Team London School’s Volunteering Conference. She had an opportunity to learn about the programme that is building the next generation of volunteers by inspiring and enabling young people to give back to their local community by taking part in youth-led social action projects. It also provided ways to inspire young people to take action on whatever local needs they feel passionate about, including food poverty and waste, homelessness, connecting generations, friendship, bullying and gardening.
Many young people have benefitted from the programme by building new skills and becoming better involved in their local community. Teachers haveseen the impact of volunteering on the young people and their school as a whole.
AAGS will be taking part in this initiative in order to get students more involved in community projects, linking back to RE and Islamic studies, the impact of which will be positive and inspiring to the whole school.
We look forward to share more information with you during the course of the year on our progress with this initiative.
