Aashriya Jain for Project Leader Support Officer + Why me? Hi, I am Aashriya Jain, a first year student studying BSc Management and am running for the post of Project Leader Support Officer. Volunteering has always been a part of me; not only as a member of Warwick Volunteers since I joined university, but also back home. On behalf of the Indian Red Cross Society, I led a drive to raise funds for Red Cross parcels, which consists of basic necessities needed for survival. My Ideas: To create an environment in which the process of volunteering is made fun, fulfilling and accessible to all members of the society. Encourage and motivate more people to join WV and actively engage themselves in various on going projects. Respond and listen patiently to the various goals and aims of the volunteer learners. Plan and participate in socials for the WV team. Stay connected with all the project leaders at all times and be ready to cater to any queries they may have. Improve WV with new ideas and work together as an entire network. As an active participant of two projects at Warwick Volunteers, namely fun with numbers and crafts in hospital, I have honed my communication skills. I have had the opportunity to look at the problems at a grass root level and thus feel confident about handling challenging situations. As the majority of my past experience has involved initiating projects, I feel I have enhanced my organizational and leadership skills. Furthermore, being one of the organizers of the largest charity event in my district, I have witnessed all that goes on in the planning and smooth execution of an event.
