First training session led by a coordinator/facilitator. With 33 new volunteers for the next fiscal year.
1. Self introduction and ice breaking
2. Tour around the welfare center.
Main message: Taking care of shelter animals is one duty that volunteers will be involved in, but it's not the only thing. Other activities include helping in educational events, making brochures and posters about shelter animals.
Volunteers are not mere helping staff to address labor shortage. Rather, they are to raise public awareness of animal welfare issues and tackle them together with the animal welfare center staff.
There will be two lecture days in Nov and Dec, followed by on-the-job training to be taken 4 times during Jan - Mar. Then volunteers will have a choice to become a full-fledged volunteer staff member to work there for the following three years. An orientation ceremony will he held when you start, and a commencement (graduation) ceremony will also be held when you complete your three year term. It's just like a school...
