Description
Summary:The transformative nature of their experiences as tertiary students, their sense of growth in confidence and achievement, and their hope and belief in a brighter future reinforces the importance of ongoing support for specific enabling programs at our tertiary institutions. Moira Deslandes and Louise Rogers write of a volunteer training framework developed by a volunteering organisation that offers clear linkages and pathways for volunteers and organisations and provides the opportunity for building and promoting a 'culture of continuous service improvement'. In this journal with its focus on 'adult learning', there has been a wide range of papers on such themes as reporting research, proposing and criticising theories, assessing programs and recording history.
