Every year Discovery recruits, trains and supports a small team of committed and energetic Project Coordinators to lead groups of volunteers as well as organising and delivering our community activities, through our Community Leadership Programme.
The scheme offers students the opportunity to not only gain skills but to take a first step in to project managing and team leading in practical community leader roles.
With lots of training and support, each Project Coordinator (PC) is allocated a specific Discovery project that they are responsible for leading on. As a PC they are in charge of the planning and coordinating of work to ensure all activities are completed safely and successfully whilst managing group dynamics of volunteers and making sure the experience is positive for everyone. This doesn’t mean they have to do everything single-handedly, they can delegate tasks to other volunteers like making phone calls, organising transport or doing ice breakers.
Project Coordinators are fully supported by the Volunteering Projects Manager, Project Support Worker and the rest of the Discovery staff and trustee team.
