young volunteers

Working in partnership with Community Organisations, Schools and Colleges or Universities to offer young people support to take their first step to volunteering.

Young Volunteers project

Empowering Young People aged 14 to 24, our Young Volunteers project has a particular focus on the under 18s helping them to feel connected to their community and grow in confidence and enterprise to enjoy improved mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.

Working in partnership with Community Organisations, Schools and Colleges or Universities to offer young people support to take their first step to volunteering.

Our Young Volunteers project aims to:
Inspire with workshops and share how volunteering has boosted wellbeing, confidence and employability
Engage with the Youth Development Officer for tailored one to one coaching or small group sessions or tasters in volunteering that fit the interest of the young person
Empower with supported placements and mentoring for any young people to be involved in creating a Youth Leadership Team to deliver and shape activities within the Third Sector
If you would like to find out more about the aims of this project please feel free to get in touch.
