Volunteering
-
- Volunteers are central to all of SOVA's work. Each project
has a team of volunteers who engage with and support the participants.
SOVA welcomes volunteers from the local community.
-
- There are a number of stages involved in becoming a SOVA
volunteer:
- Application form
- Interview
- Criminal Records Bureau check
- accredited training
- post-course interview
- SOVA volunteers receive:
- support and supervision from local staff
- expenses
- additional training
- As a SOVA volunteer you might be supporting offenders, vulnerable
young people, unemployed, refugees, substance mis-users, the
homeless. A volunteer might engage with a participant in the
community, in prison, at their place of work or at one of SOVA's
centres.
-
- Participants' needs vary considerably but as a volunteer
you may be expected to help with:
- filling in forms
- basic skills
- preparing for an interview
- housing
- debt
- life skills
- SOVA hopes that volunteers will dedicate four hours a week
to its participants for at least six months.
