Overview

This informative, interactive online learning workshop brought to you by YouthVIP is all about energy, ideas, and action!

Who is this for?

This online learning workshop is open to – and will be beneficial for – organisations who: already work with young volunteers, want to explore the option of taking on young volunteers in the future and/or are simply interested in seeing the value that young volunteers can add to their work.

Agenda

Get ready to be inspired, as this fantastic collaborative session will give you the chance to:

share workings (experiences, challenges and perspectives), meet peers also looking to develop their youth volunteering practice and learn new approaches to engaging young volunteers.

We will take a look at best practice around recruiting, retaining, and developing young volunteers as well as examining the important structural aspects around safeguarding and compliance. We’ll also take the time to consider the motivations and drive for young people in volunteering, which will allow you to bring this into your own environment to enhance the likelihood of young people volunteering (and staying!) to support your cause.

About YouthVIP

YouthVIP is a partnership programme delivered by three third sector organisations in Scotland; Volunteering Matters, Young Scot and YouthLink Scotland. We are shaped and informed by a volunteer panel of young people who help guide our priorities in creating more sustainable and inclusive volunteering opportunities for young people across Scotland. We are delighted to be able to offer the volunteer-involving community across Scotland the opportunity to access this fully-funded workshop session, thanks to support from the Scottish Government.
