Volunteers' Activities How You Can Help Zoom-In
Zoom
In has an active volunteer programme for those who would like
to get involved with helping Zoom In carry out it's activities
and educational programme.
How Volunteering Helps Zoom In
Volunteering
for Zoom In ensures that Zoom In can continue to provide its activities
for individuals and community groups. All of our work is based on
the same principle: working together to create opportunities. This
extends to Zoom In's volunteers, who are intrinsic to Zoom In; they
both create and reflect the organisation's core identity.
How Zoom In Helps Volunteers
Zoom
In aims to provide valuable experience for volunteers. Zoom In
encourages volunteers to go on training courses and promotes exhibitions
and commissions of volunteers own work.

In please email us through our Volunteer
Enquiries Form
This encourages a two-way relationship between volunteers and
Zoom In and while volunteers help Zoom In achieve its aims, Zoom
In also fulfils its aims by helping volunteers gain experience
of the photography and art industries.
Volunteers provide additional support in all aspects of the organisation.
Areas of activities you can get involved with are:
We always
welcome volunteers to get involved with the education Programme
by helping administrate courses, Enrolling and welcoming students
on arrival and also helping the tutors with running the courses.
This is invaluable experience for those who may be thinking of a
career in education. You may be helping the students in the darkroom
or setting up lights in the studio.
You don't need a great deal of experience as long as you know the
basics and you will learn plenty of new skills by helping out.
For
you lucky peeps who can volunteer during the day, there are always
activities to do with researching and collating materials for
teaching aids. This is an ever increasing part of volunteer opportunities
at Zoom In and far more interesting than the odd envelope stuffing!
We
also run Community Education Projects with different local groups.
We are always looking for volunteers to help out organising the
projects. This could mean helping coming up with education projects,
identifying budgets and preparing teaching materials or assisting
tutors with running the projects and helping participants with
camera skills or darkroom skills.
Please have a look at our Community
Education for projects we run and welcome assistants to help
out on.
