Volunteering
Why volunteer for Shepway CAB?
All sorts of people volunteer for many different reasons, but one thing that unites them all, is that they find it challenging, rewarding and varied. Volunteering provides an opportunity to learn new skills and to develop existing ones. CAB adviser training is respected and valued throughout the advice sector.
Each of the roles that you can volunteer for will enable you to develop specific expertise. For example, you might improve your IT and organisational skills as an administrator, or learn how to deal with the media and develop research skills as a campaigner.
In any of the roles, you will develop your skills in a number of valuable areas, like communication and dealing with the public, as well as increasing your self-confidence through practical hands-on experience. There are opportunities for everyone to develop and you never stop learning!
It's also a chance to put the skills and experience that you already have
to good use by helping others. We need people of all ages and backgrounds.
