First full-time volunteers join the new Essential Energy project! - The first volunteers to join the project and start developing a brand new look and way of promoting Lishi have skills in creating videos, photography, line drawing and social marketing.
20 more full-time opportunities are available between now and March 2009 with lots more full and part-time opportunities available during the following two years.
Essential Energy is a project funded by v, the youth volunteering charity launched in May 2006 whose mission is to inspire a new generation of volunteers in England aged 16-25. v is supported by the Office of the Third Sector in the Cabinet Office.
The COLLEGE OF CHINESE PHYSICAL CULTURE (CCPC) is looking for volunteers to spearhead its groundbreaking ‘ESSENTIAL ENERGY' project in centres throughout the UK (Leeds, London, Manchester, Bradford, Newcastle, Huddersfield, Leicester, Doncaster, Halifax, Burnley)
The charity, which promotes physical and mental health stimulation and wellbeing, through non-competitive Chinese movement and dance, is reaching out for skilled 16-25 year-old's. Each will have expertise in their chosen field, though most crucially an interest in Lishi Arts, plus the ambition and enthusiasm to play a vital role in the formation and development of this important nationwide project.
The campaign, which is supported by the ‘Central Council of Physical Recreation' and ‘Exercise Movement and Dance Partnership', utilises the ancient Weihai Lishi Quanfa system of traditional Chinese Wushu; a study and appreciation of both simple and complex dance and movement that stimulates and invigorates body and mind.
Attending select evening classes whilst retaining the flexibility to work to their own timetable, the successful volunteers will be able to claim up to £60 per week expenses for the duration of the three-month project, and will be asked to contribute around 30 hours per week. The contributions of the volunteers can be accredited if this is something of value to them.
As a volunteer, you should be reliable with excellent interpersonal communication skills, plus bring with you enthusiasm, creativity and energy. You will also recognise the huge personal growth and potential employment prospects that being involved first-hand in such a project will create. Going forward, Essential Energy is keen for participants to showcase their achievements relating to this project on CV's, and will be happy to promote this work experience in references or other employment-related correspondence.
In total, ‘ESSENTIAL ENERGY' will create 164 full and part-time volunteering
opportunities over the 3 years, across 35 different locations in the
United Kingdom, and encompassing all social backgrounds.
