The team were really welcoming and supportive of me as a volunteer, and the experiences I had in delivering history education to varied audiences were priceless. I took part in both public-facing and school-based activities, which helped me to explore and develop in community work\u2014SWS has definitely solidified my passion for public outreach and engaging young people with history. As a joint honours student, the project was a great way to get involved at SHARE and grow in confidence as a member of the school. More importantly, my volunteering hours were always a good laugh, and helped me to maintain a sense of excitement and curiosity for History during a stressful final year of essays and exams. I\u2019d encourage anyone who\u2019s curious to get involved with SHARE with Schools! The volunteering experience looks great on a CV, but beyond that, it\u2019s a great and rewarding way to stretch and challenge your skills as a student.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"post-1449 media-1449\" class=\"image align-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.cardiff.ac.uk\/share-with-schools\/files\/2023\/05\/FgJzWQ7X0AAIa9S.jpeg\" alt=\"People look at artefacts on tables.
