Currently, most of our volunteers are students at De Montfort University completing their bachelor or master degree in Marketing, English & Literature, Communication and Media and Psychology.
This week, we want to thank and celebrate them for supporting Quetzal in this past year with reaching out to communities, enhancing our social media communication, delivering presentations, using us as case studies for their assignment and dissertation and sharing their learning on how we can do things better.
