Would you be interested in volunteering at a nursing home or at another organization where you can talk to people?

Yea volunteering for something that gives me experience in my field would also be great.
However I am currently staying at home as my country is in lockdown. I normally study in a big city but I originally come from a small town and there isn't anything I can easily reach daily to work :/

From the weekend though the lockdown should be over? Trust me, I understand small town life, neighbour, and the limitations.

Student support?

can't really find anything like it, that being said college is completely free here so i won't pile up a lot of student debt. However the training afterwards doesn't really receive any funding unfortunately :(

Sorry, I should have been more descriptive; I was rushing as I was recording and submitting a presentation 😂
I was referring to you providing Student Support to people with specific learning disabilities. I worked in heavy manual manufacturing before losing my sight, then I joined the support register (UK) for a local college. There I was able to provide support around their study skills, mentoring to help them consolidate learning etc. I really enjoyed it and was very rewarding. It is Ad Hoc however, but gives you a few pounds.

That sounds like a good idea! I'll see if I find anything nearby my uni when I go back there. Currently at home in a small village due to lockdown and I don't have any schools/colleges arrround and the public transport sucks here too :/

Look online, they usually have a support register, you may be able to do virtual support using Zoom/Teams Collaborate etc. 😊
