National Volunteer Week 2020 gives us the opportunity to reflect on, and recognise, each and every one of our volunteers.
National Volunteer Week starts on 18 May and I encourage everyone to celebrate our volunteers throughout the week. Although we will not be able to celebrate in ways we usually do, CFA is encouraging members to celebrate online.
Millions of Victorians rely on CFA volunteers to help protect their lives and property.
Being part of the Volunteers and Capability team means we are able to work directly with volunteers to support them. We are currently working on many different projects, many of which have been created during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep our people connected.
JuniorsLIVE
JuniorsLIVE is an online version of juniors developed by the Youth Programs Team for use in Term 2 during COVID19 restrictions. The program has been designed so that junior members can work by themselves in their own homes.
Through the sessions, junior members have the opportunity to participate in activities (videos, reflections, games and home learning activities) that explore aspects of the five themes of the juniors program to develop their understanding and knowledge of CFA values and goals:
- Knowledge of CFA history and competition
- Understanding volunteering and community service
- Emergency response skills
- Teamwork and leadership skills
- Familiarisation with all hazard types.
