Volunteering in Action
Our Volunteering in Action Workshop is an online facilitator-led course spanning 3-5 weeks and is designed to introduce the core values of volunteerism to your group. This programme consists of 3 easy steps; The Workshop, The Challenge and The Reflection.
The Workshop sees young people explore what volunteering is, how it relates back to themselves, the impact it has and about the importance of social inclusion while celebrating the diversity in the local community. The Challenge sees young people put their knowledge, skills and attributes into action by completing an act of service through volunteerism. The Reflection allows the group to reflect on what they have learned from the experience.
At the end of the workshop, participants are awarded with National Youth Volunteering Portfolios (MyVP).
