Hi all
If you are one of our existing volunteers - welcome back! It's lovely to have you back in the fold again this year. Hope you enjoyed your holibags! If you are new to LEAPS and hoping to get involved in our volunteer opportunties this year - hello and welcome!
Our workshops in schools will be starting up again on 2 Nov and will continue up until the end of May. I will be posting the November events here soon so please keep your eyes peeled.
If you are new to LEAPS and would like to find out more about our volunteering opportunties please pop me an email and I can send you more information.
The next step will be for you to attend one of our 'Information and Training Sessions'. You can attend any of the sessions regardless of what university you study at.
Thur 15 Oct, 5.30-7.30 - Edinburgh Uni - David Hume Tower (Faculty Room North)
Wed 21 Oct, 5.30-7.30 - Edinburgh Uni - David Hume Tower (Conference Room)
Thur 22 Oct, 5.30-7.30 - Napier Uni - Merchiston Campus (Room F28)
Mon 26 Oct, 5.30-7.30 - Heriot Watt Uni - (Room DB115)
Tues 27 Oct, 5.30-7.30 - Queen Margaret Uni (Room TBC)
These sessions give a good insight into what volunteering involves. We ask a few current volunteers along to share their experiences and we also provide you with all the necessary training that you need before you attend any events in school. After the training session it's up to you if you want to get involved. Absolutely no arm twisting - we promise!
Please email me - claire.aitchison@ed.ac.uk - to register your interest and book your place on one of the Information and Training Sessions.
The LEAPS team looks forward to meeting some new and some more familiar faces very soon!
Enjoy the start of term
Claire
