To support young people in reaching their academic abilities, Orchard Fostering runs an education support program that is specific to the needs of each individual child. The education volunteer engages with the child and/or foster carer by remote means once a week for a period of up to 10 weeks.
Each education volunteer are Garda vetted, provided with Children’s First Training and preparation training prior to beginning work as an education volunteer. Supervision and check-ins are made available and the education volunteers are welcome to join training facilitated by Orchard Fostering throughout the year as well as join any staff events.
