As part of Scottish Careers Week 2025, join us online to learn about the work of Volunteering Matters and their impact in engaging young people across Scotland.
Volunteering Matters is one of the UK’s leading volunteering charities, creating opportunities for people of all ages to get involved in their communities. They focus on empowering individuals, supporting young people, and making a positive impact through volunteering programmes across Scotland and the UK.
The session will explore how volunteering can empower young people, open up career pathways, and strengthen community connections. A key focus will be the Youth VIP programme, which gives young people a stronger voice in shaping volunteering opportunities.
In this session, you will:
- See how Volunteering Matters engages and supports young people, with a spotlight on the Youth VIP programme.
- Explore practical ways your organisation can involve young people in meaningful volunteering opportunities.
- Gain inspiration and ideas to apply within your own work or organisation.
