KIRSTY MAJOR
About this episode

I start this episode by running through the 4 events that I'm offering in March 2024. If you'd like to know more or you're interested in future events, check out the events section on 
https://www.englishwithkirsty.com 

I then go on to talk about my experiences of volunteering, 5 ways a voluntary role in another language can help you, and how not all volunteering roles are the same. They can be online or face-to-face, and there are many organisations that are looking for volunteers, so you’re sure tto find something related to your interests or a topic about which you feel passionate.

How about you? do you have any experience with volunteering in another language? Is it something that you would like to explore?
