2) Build real connections in the community - forget Facebook...come to Dixon House to build real connections with friendly people of all ages and backgrounds. 3) Build your confidence - perhaps you don't know how much you can offer until you begin to do it. Come and give it a try and be surprised at what you can do. 4) Learn new skills - communication skills, organisational skills, technical skills, interpersonal skills..... 5) Get valuable work experience - perhaps you are currently studying, or have come from overseas and don't have much practical or local experience.
