For a couple of weeks in June the JRS offices had the pleasure of welcoming a group of volunteers from the Boston University. The students participated in job shadowing, received training and joined in on different activities with staff members.
As part of our ongoing effort to create a welcoming space at the JRS office, the students also helped with renovations of our three meeting rooms. This included assembling new furniture, painting walls and organising and clearing spaces. As part of the renovations a number of items were bought using funds secured through Aġenzija Żgħażagħ’s BOOST Scheme.
This Scheme has helped us to ensure the highest quality of service by providing items used in our youth activity and counselling rooms, as well as helping to upgrade our IT infrastructure for more efficient information delivery.
