📸 If your volunteering journey had an album, what would you call it?   Every volunteer has a camera roll full of moments worth remembering. The laughs, the lessons, the people we meet, the challenges we take on and the little moments that stay with us. 💙

Volunteering is full of experiences that help us learn by doing, grow in confidence and practise leadership along the way. And over time, those moments become part of our stories. 🌱

So, if your volunteer journey had an album, what would you name it? Tell us in the comments! 👀🎞️

🔥 What noise does a campfire make…? 🔥

Campfires are an important tradition at Our Chalet. This is the noise our summer volunteers think a campfire makes!

How did they do?
