What do you expect from the volunteers?
Volunteers have to see themselves as agents of change and promote community change through their communication. All their work should represent the organization’s main goals and values and will be a testimony and a way to promote the volunteer work.
We are hoping that all volunteers commit to our ethical photography and video campaign.
Do the volunteers have to bring special equipment?
It is necessary to bring a camera or computer according the volunteers skills.

On day two, you will be accompanied to a project, depending on availability, and you will visit the same project during the following days to become familiar with the work of a community organization and what volunteers do there.
On your second week, you will meet the Voluntario Global coordinators to make an evaluation of your first week. This week you will continue to go to the project assigned to you and start working on a communications plan.
On week number three, you will have a general meeting in the Voluntario Global office so you can propose a schedule and tasks for your communications plan (related to the community project you have been visiting). This plan will be evaluated to determine its feasibility and weekly outputs. Additional tasks may be determined.
