Community Work: Swearer Center Student Staff Guide Introduction Introduction About the Swearer Center A Brief History Philosophy The Staff Being a Program Coordinator ... Program Administration Program Management Planning Training Working with the Community Working with Volunteers Individual Support Volunteer Groups or Teams Program Meetings Content Evaluation Program Management Working With Volunteers Volunteers are the core of your project. It is through their time, expertise and effort that the goals of your project will be realized. One of the most important roles of the coordinator is to offer and organize support to volunteers. Yet this can also be one of the most intimidating parts of your job. Managing a group of your peers, particularly in subject areas in which you are not expert, can be a daunting task. Remember you are not expected to know it all. Most volunteers come to the project with enthusiasm and curiosity. They also come with varying degrees of experience, different motivations for getting involved, varied amounts of time they can give to the program and differing degrees to which the work relates to their academic, personal or professional goals. It is important for coordinators to identify the strengths and the needs of their volunteers. Many coordinators incorporate this process into the initial training for the semester (see Training). Clarifying strengths and needs can give you a sense of the expertise that you have in your program as well as areas that may require further training throughout the year.

WELCOME TO POCONO PET RESCUE Our Pet List Be a Buddy Casey's Memorial Page Our Scrapbook ... Get On Our Mailing List !! Urgent Request !! Li'l Dennis Meet Chewie Chewie is one of the best dogs I have ever met. He is so well behaved and such a little love. He got adopted but then started to urinate in the house. It didn't seem right; I knew Chewie would never go in the house unless something was wrong with his health. Sure enough, he had bladder stones. After a month on medication and special food the stones were the still the same and he needed surgery. At that point, his adoptive home decided not to take him back. He was doing well, then out of nowhere at the end of March he started losing weight. One day he began urinating excessively. Then he started drinking like he couldn't relieve his thirst. Then he couldn't stand up. All this happened in the space of about 8 hours. We rushed him to the emergency vet and he was diagnosed with diabetes. He quickly got much worse and they didn't hold out much hope for him. He developed an infection and his blood sugar was over 700. We wouldn't give up on him though, and 10 days later he walked out of the hospital on his own and has been doing great ever since.

VIC 56 A BRIEF INTRODUCTION Photo: James Packer The VIC 56 is an eighty-five foot steam ship, built in 1945 as part of the wartime shipbuilding program, and now preserved in working order by a small group of volunteers.

For most of her working life, the VIC 56 was used in Rosyth naval base as an ammunition vessel. She was due to be disposed in September 1978, but was bought for preservation by J. H. Cleary, the present owner. Open days: The VIC 56 is open to visitors a few times a year. To find out the dates for these open days, and how to get to the mooring, click here.
