Second Language, First Aid
Second Language, First Aid
If you’re a Polish student at the University of Glasgow, then take advantage of the SRC teaming up with Glasgow University’s Polish Society and schools across Glasgow to give volunteers a chance to help Polish children with their lessons and offer Second Language, First Aid. Many schools have a large number of Polish children whose first language isn’t English, and as a result they sometimes struggle to keep up with the rest of the class.
Volunteers from Poland or Eastern Europe can help to make sure that the children don’t fall behind and can achieve their full potential by ensuring that they’re able to understand what’s being taught. Volunteers are also offered the chance to help run after-school and homework clubs at schools across Glasgow which can be a real benefit to local Polish communities.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer in any of these areas, please
e-mail volunteer@src.gla.ac.uk. The SRC are required to ask all students who will go on to work with children under the age of 18 or vulnerable adults to complete a Disclosure Scotland form, and you collect one of these from the SVSS Coordinator on the first floor of the John McIntyre building.
