Volunteer Trainer
Share your knowledge and experience — in your profession or in something entirely unrelated to it. We take care of organising the training.
Who can apply
Two conditions are enough
A volunteer trainer is someone who shares their knowledge of a subject with the people Volunteer Movement works with. We do not ask for a diploma or a title.
What subjects can be taught?
Almost any subject. We deliberately set no limits on the topic; we believe this is how creativity and new approaches appear. We care especially about content that builds knowledge, skills and behaviour, and that teaches practical life skills.
Each training may have a different audience: a session on teaching and learning may be aimed at teachers, one on entrepreneurship at university students, and one on effective communication at a general audience.
What should your plan include?
Touch on these points when you fill in the application form — the training needs to be planned and to have a method.
- Who is your audience, and how many people will there be?
- How long will the training last?
- What materials will you use?
- What are your methods and exercises?
- What will participants take away from it?
How are the costs covered?
Trainers are not paid — volunteer training is, as the name says, based on volunteering. But we do not expect you to be out of pocket either.
Travel and accommodation
If you are coming to Bursa from another city to give the training, we cover your travel and accommodation costs.
Training materials
We can support you in obtaining the materials you will use.
Participant contribution
A small donation may be asked of participants, to cover costs or to contribute to the association. Instead of a donation we may also ask for a book or an item no longer in use.
Apply, and we will make the plan together
All you need to do is fill in the Volunteer Application Form. Once we have your application we get in touch and plan the training together. Training plans are prepared at least two to four weeks in advance.
