5.1.2 CSI – Volunteers Volunteering, as part of the FNB Volunteer Employee Programme is your opportunity as a FirstRand staff member to make a difference in someone’s life, by helping people in need across South Africa. A volunteer is someone like you. Someone who wants to “give something back” to the community without concern for financial benefit. Volunteering is therefore considered a part-time, active job whereby work is executed with devotion, willingness, integrity and in support of your chosen organisation. People give of their time and pool resources to enhance the lives of others and, in so doing, also enhance and enrich the community at large. Kinds of volunteering initiatives include the Vita Nova Centre, five hostels, the Stimulation Centre which focuses on developing the individual skills needed for the enjoyment of a happy and meaningful life, as well as YLED which imparts life skills for success and develops the entrepreneurial spirit amongst in-school learners and out of school youth from historically disadvantaged and urban communities, by up-skilling and preparing them for the future. The FNB CBA Volunteers is part of the FirstRand Volunteer Programme and as such receives financial support for time spent volunteering at a charity and or for funds received through staff donations. All matched funding claims are paid out by FirstRand Volunteers into a FNB Volunteers account to be utilised by the respective committees to support their chosen and beneficiary organisations.12 INDUCTION TOOL | VERSION 2 |JANUARY 2018
