your training
We welcome all new volunteers with an informal onboarding session to help get you set up on our IT system and direct you to all the necessary resources. This session also includes learning all about our charity and how your role makes a difference. We will also introduce you to the organisational layout of The Together Plan.
We also ensure you have a named supervisor and work hard to ensure that we are a strong team to support you in your role. This is facilitated through regular (optional) whole-team catch-ups and 1-to-1 check-ins with our HR coordinator to ensure that we are supporting you as best we can.
Additionally, you will be working alongside others in a team and a team leader will explain the system and offer relevant training, including safe lifting and handling.
benefits of volunteering for us
The Together Plan is a small, rapidly growing charity, almost entirely run by volunteers, with a big mission! As a result of this, we highly value every volunteer we have and their individual contribution to enabling our work.
As a volunteer at The Together Plan you will be exposed to a huge range of groundbreaking new developments in the world of Jewish cultural heritage. You will play a part in shaping brand-new Holocaust education resources and will have the opportunity to further develop your role within The Together Plan to align with your passions as you learn more about the work that we do.
Finally, The Together Plan is more than just a charity, we are a close-knit family of volunteers around the world, celebrating each other’s achievements and supporting each other through hard times. We often share skills, learn from each other and contribute together to develop ourselves professionally and personally. We hope you will join our family.
