Training and Development Training may be provided by companies or it may be organized by their not-for-profit partners. Training may take the form of a general orientation session for volunteers before commencing with their project work a specifically tailored response to an identified lack of skills in anticipation of working with groups of individuals – e.g. persons with disabilities or children – that require the volunteers to observe specific ‘rules of engagement’. Sensitization of volunteers in preparation for working in different socio-cultural environments plays an important role in the training and should be seen as an indispensable element of risk and reputation management. More general induction sessions should draw on the experience of volunteer ‘alumni’ or ‘veterans’ whose insights into the dynamics and specific challenges of community work often prove to be invaluable. The most important thing about volunteering is to be absolutely passionate. Giving your own time is something very precious, something the experience of which goes beyond words. I have been involved with the TSTT Foundation since 2009 and focus on the annually held Sports Camps that are giving children from a number of homes and orphanages an opportunity to spend a week with their peers playing, learning and meeting some of their sporting heroes in person. Working as a volunteer with these kids was really an eye-opener for me and has taught me the value of employers enabling their staff to become involved in the lives and well-being of others less fortunate. 16 Carla Griffith-Roberts Assignment Clerk II TSTT
