Thinking Ahead - Dates for your diary


Thinking Ahead - Dates for your diary





So, despite the fact it's only just turned November, thoughts in the office have started turning to Christmas and indeed the new year. The reason for that (although I reckon it's mostly due to a staff member who will remain anonymous is very excitable around Christmas!) is because of planning. For volunteers (and people in general), to get the best from something you need to do some kind of planning. 

Whether that's spending ages preparing a PowerPoint for work, or planning a babysitter so you can leave your child at home and go out for a meal, a little thinking ahead works wonders! And as the saying goes - fail to prepare, prepare to fail. 

So, although it's only November, we're hoping to prepare our wonderful volunteers for the opportunities we have coming up next year, to ensure they're available and around. We've included below a list of events we're attending in the next year - and events that we would love for you to be involved in! Regardless of whether you've done hundreds of education events with us, or none, we'd love to have you involved. 

There are lots of different opportunities you can get involved with - from sitting on a careers panel, to attending a careers fair, to visiting a school; we have various requests up and down the country. We'll provide you with full training, support and guidance throughout the process (as well as lots of freebies to hand out to those young people). 

Sound like good fun?

Now those of you with a keen eye (or those even reading the page at all!) will notice that two events are highlighted bold. The reason for this is they are BIG scale events! We need multiple volunteers for each day, and the events run on multiple days. If you (or a colleague), would love to help us out and these events, please get in touch - schools@theorsociety.com. There's a free t-shirt in it for you if you help out at these events!


*As always, dates might change. Schools and universities love what we offer and often we end up adding more dates or occasionally shifting sessions to accommodate more. Please check the website for the latest info (http://www.theorsociety.com/Pages/ORinSchools/ORinSchoolsSeeUsAt.aspx) 



Interested? Bored? Hopefully not the latter ….
