Volunteering can be a great way for young people to develop new skills, gain experience for their future life and employment, ‘give back’ to an organisation and help their local community. Evidence shows that volunteering gives young people self-worth and builds confidence to take on new opportunities and can greatly enhance CVs and employability.
Volunteering also benefits organisations bringing a valuable awareness of the challenge of being a young person today as well as youthful energy and new ideas. (British Youth Council)
