Volunteering in Action
Our Volunteering in Action Workshop is an online facilitator-led experience 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 and the impact it has, The Challenge sees young people put their knowledge, skills and attributes into action by completing an act of service and 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).

“We saw first-hand what we can do when we work together and the impact it has on our community. Localise has also provided us with lots of life skills, so it is as valuable to us as it is to our community.”
