This unit is to enable candidates to develop an understanding of what volunteering is and the benefits of volunteering to themselves as volunteers. They will identify types of Volunteer Involving Organisations (VIO) and plan and prepare for a volunteering opportunity.

This unit is to enable candidates to apply and develop their skills in a volunteering capacity. Candidates will review their own skills during and after their volunteering experience.

This unit is to develop candidates' personal skills by providing them with the opportunity to undertake an investigation into a familiar aspect of volunteering. Candidates will develop a project plan for completion of the investigation and review and present the investigation findings relating this to their personal development.

For this Unit, learners will be required to provide evidence of building their employability skills, by (a) using at least two sources of information to find out about jobs that are available and employers who may have jobs that are suitable for them, (b) practising at least two of the skills needed to apply for a job, e.g. contacting an employer to enquire about a job, filling in a job application, preparing a Curriculum Vitae, preparing for, or participating in, an interview.

The general aim of this Unit is to explore what it means to have a sense of personal wellbeing. Differing views of mental, emotional, social and physical health and wellbeing will be considered. Learners will develop an understanding of personal wellbeing as a holistic concept, influenced by individual, social, global and environmental factors. Using information from different sources, learners will find out about factors that influence wellbeing.

Learners will also develop the ability to assess the usefulness of information to help them make informed choices about wellbeing. Learners will undertake an investigation into wellbeing and present their findings in a suitable format.

This Award aims to support learners to:

• develop an understanding of wellbeing
• investigate factors that influence wellbeing
• identify and evaluate choices about wellbeing
• set goals and plan to improve wellbeing
• undertake a task to improve wellbeing
• communicate the results of the task
