Involving Young People: Volunteering
"The volunteering opportunities it has offered have been really good for me. I've got involved in lots of different things and helping other younger teenagers to get involved- it's going to be good for my CV to have had this experience." Chloe, Young Volunteer, High Wycombe
This section of Involving Young People focuses on the practicalities of developing young people's volunteering within your service.
The Volunteering Handbook (PDF) is a guide to help you to think through all aspects of developing volunteering opportunities for and with young people. It includes information on:
- Developing a volunteering policy
- Legal requirements including CRB checking
- Creating volunteer roles
- Volunteer recruitment and training
- Volunteer recognition and progression
Use the Volunteering templates (Word) for sample documents to help you to risk assess, recruit and sustain positive volunteer relationships with young people.
* Templates include:
* Sample volunteer policy
* Risk assessment
* Developing volunteer roles
