Johanna has shared with VIA her hopes to create a space for focus on wellbeing and volunteering. When she first contacted us for an internship, she stated she wanted to help volunteers cope with the stressors that sometimes come with volunteering. We then centred her internship on this focus. Johanna researched with the help of the SCI community, how current volunteers take care of their wellbeing before, during, and after their workcamps/training and/or volunteering experience. Her research helped us create a toolkit and pamphlet that will be shared within the SCI community, NGOs, and volunteering organisations to help support volunteers in their volunteer experience. With the help of our community member Yusef and guidance from her supervisor Diana, Johanna was able to complete her research report.
