A Day in the Life of a Saturday Workshop Volunteer!
A Day in the Life of a Saturday Workshop Volunteer!
By Cady Ann Davies
When I tell people I volunteer at Comics Youth, one question I often get asked is ‘what do you do?’ and I can never respond with a short, simple answer. So, I thought it would be a great idea to make a comic about it, breaking down a typical volunteering day into five panels. Every volunteer at Comics Youth has their own schedule personalised to them, and this comic is based solely on my own personal experience. As a group we have shared our own tips and tricks with one another, which has helped me along my volunteering journey with Comics Youth.
Throughout this blog, I’m going to tell you more about my volunteering role and share top tips. I’ll also be sharing a bit of information on the processes behind making my comics! I’ll be labelling all my comic-talk as ‘BTS’ (which stands for behind-the-scenes, not the K-Pop group!)
To Conclude…
It’s always a joy to volunteer at Comics Youth during their Saturday sessions. There’s always something new every week!
If you’d like to attend a Saturday session, there are two options available to you:
Saturday Comics Workshop aims to support young people aged 8-13 who want to create comics and cool stories! https://comicsyouth.co.uk/saturday-comics-workshop
Here for the Nerds is a session where young people aged 14-25 can make friends or connect with other creatives, through guided tasks or games! https://comicsyouth.co.uk/here-for-the-nerds
