The appointment of Helen Keenan as Training Development Officer signals a major commitment by the
DofE
in Scotland to train 2,000 new volunteers over the next two years.
T
here is an ever- increasing need for well trained volunteers to lead the abundant numbers of committed young people through their DofE programmes.
This initiative, supported by the Scottish Government through Youthlink, will mean a 40% increase in the numbers of Leaders in Scotland - currently
5,000.
The training will be delivered through Operating Authorities (Local Authority Councils, independent Schools and Voluntary Organisations), who are each being offered at least two days dedicated training over the next two years.
As some may not currently have sufficient numbers of volunteers to fill training events, Operating Authorities are being encouraged to work together, extending training opportunities and bringing volunteers together to share best practice.
