Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd announced a new study revealing that half of young adults feel there is a stigma when it comes to volunteering. Reasons include it being seen as ‘uncool’ and ‘something that older people do’ or even ’embarrassing’.

To combat this, Samsung UK has partnered with DoIt – a volunteering platform with a mission to help people to discover their purpose – to showcase the breadth of unique opportunities available across the country, making it easy for young people to find their dream role.

Breaking the stigma around the traditional positions on offer, some of the quirky roles available to sign up now for include a Puppy Parent, Confidence Coach, Woodland Worker and Positive Podcaster.

Samsung UK will be exhibiting some of these unique roles at their ‘Volunteer Fair’ on 17th June hosted at Samsung KX. The charities will be on hand to talk one to one and guests can sign up to their dream role on the spot.

Where?

Samsung KX, Coal Drops Yard, King’s Cross

When?

17th June 2022, 4pm – 7pm

What to expect?

Expect a wide array of fun & exciting roles to get stuck into, from Puppy Parenting (yes, you heard that right!) which involves raising a puppy for the first 6 months of its life to become a future guide dog, to becoming a Woodland Worker and getting outdoors to help Forestry England with wildlife and woodland surveying.

Why?

Why not learn a new skill or contribute to your community? Those who attend will get an exclusive interaction to talk face to face as to why volunteering can be meaningful and rewarding, offering you a chance to sign up for your dream role on the spot.
