Support Organisations
Do you work with young people and want to support them into volunteering? Here are some tips for getting started...
Volunteering has many benefits for young people, both in terms of giving something back to their local communities and building their own skills and experience.
Volunteering has been shown to increase confidence and allow young people to interact with different people. It can also provide a much needed stepping stone that enables young people to make the transition into paid employment.
Volunteer Centres
We suggest that you contact your local Volunteer Centre. The next step depends on where the young person lives, works or studies.

We have also put together a handbook for young people looking to volunteer. If you are working with a young person who is interested in volunteering, please share this handbook with them.
