SAcommunity loves to find out more about volunteer experience from the volunteers themselves,we have been fortunate that Sophie Hood joined us way back on the 9 January 2017 whilst studying and has continued to contribute to the program, completing her last login with SAcommunity on 27 July 2021.

National Volunteer Week 17 - 23 May 2021: Erin's Story

Submitted by Past Volunteer Erin on Tue, 05/18/2021 - 12:54

I started volunteering with Connecting Up in November 2017 while I was studying. At the time I was studying Business Administration at TAFE SA. I went on to further study Medical Administration, Accounting and Bookkeeping. I took an interest in volunteering at Connecting Up because I wanted hands on administration experience working in an office environment using some of the skills I had gained while studying.

A few weeks ago we bid farewell to our Connecting Up Inc. volunteer Niru. Niru volunteered with us for 144 hours from 13 September 2019 - 9 September 2020 and we are excited to report has moved into full time paid work - Congratulations Niru! We called this article 'Learning Everyday' because one of Niru's many great traits is a dedication to learning about and sharing new tech tools and training concepts with us and we asked Niru in her exit interview if she had any thoughts to share with the other volunteers.

Stathis has been utilising Power BI to present and display SAcommunity statistics based on website traffic, service visits and categories of services for councils. The data can assist with decision-making and consultation with needed community groups in the area.

The SAcommunity Statistics page for councils can be found >>here 

Please let us know if your council is interested in these statistics as an aid to community engagement.

The aim of Connecting Up's Volunteer Program is to support SAcommunity whilst simultaneously allowing our volunteers to see more clearly the skills they have and that they bring to us, by having a platform and forum where they can express their ideas for the service and demonstrate their talents together in a supportive team environment.

Our volunteers proactively use their abilities and those they learn from each other and share with us to support their local community in a meaningful way through the directory service.
