The department’s Wellbeing for Learning and Life framework talks about how to promote the wellbeing and resilience of children. Volunteering can be a key part of this. It supports students’ learning and wellbeing. Volunteering gives students a way to:
- develop social skills
- explore possible career options
- find their purpose and help others
- connect with people in their community
- increase their self-understanding, independence and confidence.
