Life of a Red Volunteer?

Watch this clip to understand how we are working on the social development and life of a member of VSHR.

Be a part of the Super Hero team: Most of the members are social workers, who are professionals, working for our job/career, and besides that also some shining keen to make a great difference in the community. So members are working Monday - Friday working for their job and Saturday- Sunday, without hanging out, working together for helping the community, that's why the members of VSHR are called real-life superheroes/heroines. You are welcome to be part of this superhero team. 

We use SLACK to streamline our online communication during weekdays. Our members may have time constraints but we have the influence, connection, skill set, experience, and strong determination to make positive impacts on the community. 

What will I do as 'Red Volunteer'?

Read all the projects of VSHR. As you will be assigned to multiple projects during your journey at VSHR based on your role and workload. It's an amazing experience and opportunity. All projects are highly scalable. That means when you join in, someone will give you the key for your sprint and you will handover to your successor before your departure. Like an amazing rally race!

Projects

Read about the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. VSHR is working particularly on SDGs - 3, 4, and 17. 

The Strategy of the projects

Strategy on Sustainable development: Our key focus is - our initiative needs to create a sustainable impact on the community also our initiative itself must be sustainable as well. So it will keep running like an automated process to help in the longer run. We believe sustainable development is true development, but sustainable development takes a long preparation and also a lot of tactical work, unlike traditional charity work. So if your internship duration is 4 - 8 weeks, you will see certain phases of the whole project. But you will definitely be part of an amazing journey. During your internship, you will do a lot of strategic work, planning, leadership, coordination, creating materials, videos, research, presentation, workshop, and also field works based on the need of the project you will be assigned. 

What will be the duration?

There are multiple types of the duration of this volunteer program. They are:

• 8 weeks
• 12 weeks
• 18 weeks
• 6 months
• 12 months

​You are welcome to pick the duration you would like to pursue. 

The 'Project driving' Experience

English Communication: Vietnam is for Vietnamese people. So main language is also Vietnamese. English is not an official language but most VSHR members can communicate in English. However, you will need to be patient and respect this downside. It will be a great experience for you to learn how to overcome the communication barrier.

Your self-communication: Be transparent, honest, and clear communicative. Completely avoid - talking about people on their backs, avoid making jokes which can hurt people's feelings, and tell one person's chit-chat content to another person.  VSHR members really hate such behavior. If you already think you almost getting into a conflict due to another person's unacceptable behavior, then you can request support from Program Director. If your violate this rule, your internship can be even terminated.

Working with your team: Be very respectful to your team members, when you are assigned to a project, you will need to know - your project team member, build your connection with them, share your passion, and add a high contribution to earn team members' respect. Don't expect they will respect or listen to you without doing so. One important suggestion, be open and request feedback from the program director from time to time, it will make you understand if you are on right track. 

Office working hours: In VSHR we are all social workers. So we have our own professional jobs living during the weekday. So our full-time VSHR office sessions are on weekends. Full time 8.30 am - 7.00 pm (tentative).
Ya, we basically spend all weekend developing sustainable - scalable projects for helping the community by sacrificing our relaxing weekend. During the weekday, you will be working offsite. If you have student project team members, you will inspire and invite them to work with them during the weekdays offsite. One key point, even though during the weekday you will be working offsite. During the weekend you can have 2 days off. You can request to fix these two days at the beginning of your internship. 

The Award you will gain

After completing your volunteer program you will achieve a completion award. If your contribution gets rated as outstanding and you go beyond your role/responsibilities, then you will receive a special award named - Social Shaper. This is a special honor award for our interns. That will be a great achievement for you to showcase in your life, career, and profile.
