CAS – Social Career – Year 10 to 13
Dear KGV Parents of Year 10 – 13
For this academic school year 2018/2019, our school will start partnering with Social Career (socialcareer.org), a new innovative volunteer platform that offers many volunteer opportunities to our students, giving them more opportunities to get involved in community engagement.
The school will be able to track each student’s volunteer activities with the Social Career platform, as well as promote KGV Student Led initiatives. Every time your child applies for a new volunteer opportunity on the platform, you as a parent/guardian will also receive an email from Social Career, asking for your parental consent, before your child’s application gets processed and sent to the recruiting NGO or school leader.
The view when looking at the Social Career platform will be the full view of all opportunities. However, a function of the pilot we are using is that students registered through school (using their xxxx@kgv.hk) will only have access to the KGV sub view. On this page will only have either:
- KGV’s own student led projects
- Access to NGO’s we have previously established a relationship with and hence not necessarily present the language barriers you highlight
Please let me know if you do not wish your child to use the Social Career platform please contact me before Sunday 2 September, and we will be sure to exclude them from the enrolment.
Best Regards
Dean Beard
CAS & Service Learning Coordinator
