What have I volunteered for?
Feb. 2nd, 2007 12:02 amThis might not have been a smart thing to do...
There's a programme called Junior Achievement that my company participates in whereby volunteers spend one morning a week in a school, working on a project with kids. There's some teaching, but it's meant to be a two-way interactive process.
I put my name down for it last autumn, and had a brief conversation with one of the organisers, but hadn't heard anything since, and had almost forgotten about it. That was until they called me back last week and asked if I would like to take a class on this term. So tomorrow, I get trained on the programme, and next week I'll be in the deep end, working with a class of primary school students.
I must confess I'm a little nervous. Let's hope they're not to rough on me.
Wish me luck!
