Volunteering - youth projects

Volunteering is great way for young people to make new friends, help their community and learn new skills.

Reasons for volunteering

If you would like to give something besides money, consider lending your time and talents to organisations that are important to you.

You can do something worthwhile and meet new people at the same time.

Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place.

Not only that, but you can learn new skills and even advance your career.

Have you ever been a volunteer?

If you have ever taken part in sponsored walk, helped raise money for charity or served on your school council, then you have been a volunteer!

Many young people are volunteering every day and don't even know it.
