For that the volunteer will be provided with material from other volunteers and employees of WF Iceland. The platforms include especially Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. Also updating content on the website of WF (http://wf.is) is part of their responsibilities. Moreover, the volunteer is expected to work on own ideas, concepts to promote the organization, such as special events, marketing actions, etc. For example, WF is longing to attract more native people from Iceland to participate in voluntary works. In the beginning of their stay, they will receive qualified training from the organization’s members. This training will capacitate them to perform the projects´ activities, which vary between cleaning beaches, planting trees and different kinds of environmental-related tasks to taking care of environmental awareness campaigns. At the same time, they will receive guidance in how to plan, organize and lead the projects, including topics as group management, conflict resolution, bookkeeping, development, leader roles, intercultural cooperation, motivation, etc. They will also receive practical information about planning a project, spare time activities, first aid, etc. In the end of each camp the project coordinator will be expected to produce an evaluation of the projects and their results. Also, the workcamp leaders will have a mid-term evaluation either with the project manager or the director of Worldwide Friends Iceland.
