- It aims to share the benefits of volunteering.
- Perhaps you are a young person doing Duke of Edinburgh or International Baccalaureate and can’t find a volunteer placement?
- Perhaps you are signing on and would like to volunteer to gain skills and experience, get a reference and plug gaps in your CV?
- Perhaps you are at College and want to find a work experience placement and would like to do this in a charity or community group or social enterprise?
- Perhaps you will be at a loose end over the summer or at weekends or after school and would like to take part in some social actions in your local community?
- Perhaps you know that volunteering can give you structure, offer social connection and improve your mental health if you find the right fit?
- Perhaps you are an organisation interested in recruiting younger volunteers?
- Perhaps you are an organisation interested in recruiting younger volunteers but don’t know what support you need to put in place to do this and think there are too many barriers to recruiting younger volunteers?
If any of the above or something similar rings true for you, then please contact: volunteering@kcv.org.uk
This special pilot project ran from 2024 – 2025. However we are still keen to hear from young people interested in volunteering.
