Case study: Volunteering with The Atlas Foundation: 3 weeks Work Experience - with Donnie Johansson
At The Atlas Foundation, volunteers like Donnie Johansson are helping to make a real difference. Donnie, a boarding school student from Ireland, shares his inspiring story about how he’s supporting Atlas while gaining valuable work experience.
Why Donnie Chose Atlas
Donnie’s passion for rugby and a curiosity about how it impacts communities globally drew him to volunteer with The Atlas Foundation. His journey began at his local rugby club, Barnes RFC, where he learned about Atlas. When the opportunity for work experience during Transition Year at school came up, he reached out—and hasn’t looked back since!
“I first heard of the Atlas Foundation down at my rugby club, Barnes RFC. For my Transition Year, I needed work experience and I thought that working with the Atlas Foundation would be the best suited for me. I was inspired to work for The Atlas Foundation because I have wondered what rugby would be like in other countries that do not quite have the same opportunities and facilities as other countries.”
Donnie’s Atlas Journey Involved:
- Participating in team meetings
- Connecting and collaborating with our Local Partners in Argentina, Virreyes Rugby Club
- Creating article reports on the lives that Atlas touches
- Social media posts and marketing
- Developing a keen eye for editing and refining written copy
