TeachOut O-Week Volunteer Recruitment
In what has become an annual tradition, the TeachOut Committee again took to UCT’s Jammie Plaza at the start of 2011 to recruit new volunteers for our First Semester sessions.
Forming part of the University’s Orientation Week (O-Week), the Committee marketed TeachOut to students from 7-9 February, handing out flyers and speaking to students about the benefits of tutoring.
The Committee’s enthusiasm and hard work meant that by the end of O-Week 149 students had signed up as potential volunteers. A further 31 students who had tutored with TeachOut in 2010 signed up as ‘returning volunteers’.
Over the next week-and-half, 115 students were successfully interviewed and invited to attend our First Semester Volunteer Training Day.
