Our Volunteer Passport accredited training helps volunteers build confidence, recognise their skills and gain a valuable qualification that supports their volunteering journey.
The course is designed for current volunteers and covers the context of volunteering within an organisation, understanding your role, and evaluating the contribution you make as a volunteer.
Over four weeks, volunteers will complete the accredited Level 1 unit, Working as a Volunteer, which includes:
- Understanding your roles and responsibilities as a volunteer
- Building confidence in volunteering
- Identifying your skills and personal qualities
- Exploring volunteer boundaries
- Understanding safeguarding
The Volunteer Passport gives volunteers the opportunity to recognise their strengths, validate their experience and celebrate the skills they bring to their organisation. Once accredited, volunteers can create a tailored development plan and access further accredited training in areas of special interest, building evidence of their skills and achievements.
This accredited training is delivered in partnership with the Durham Together project, bringing together VCSE organisations to offer employability support through Cornforth Partnership, Durham Community Action, Coalfields Regeneration Trust, Workers Education Association and Wheels2Work County Durham.
