ORGANISATIONSThe vinvolved team for Leicestershire & Rutland raises awareness about youth volunteering; encourages young people aged 16-25 to get positively involved in their community; and works together with groups & organisations to develop the quality and quantity of youth volunteering opportunities and foster youth-led action. Young people can bring fresh perspectives, ideas; creativity; skills; and enthusiasm to any group & organisation to achieve a greater impact in their work and community. If your group or organisation already involves younger volunteers; wants to start doing so; or would like to develop it further; we can help.
Our two ‘Volunteer Development Managers’ (Hasu Joshi & Gordon Warren) work across Leicestershire & Rutland, particularly aiming to develop opportunities for young people and providing information, training and support to organisations regarding the involvement of young volunteers.
Gordon Warren will also particularly focus upon volunteering in sports and physical activity with the support of the County Sports Partnership.
We Can Offer:
· Encouragement, information, support and guidance to groups and organisations regarding youth volunteering, involving younger volunteers and developing it further.
· Assistance with identifying and developing volunteering opportunities and role descriptions within your group, organisation or sports club.
· Guidance and support regarding policies & procedures and the promotion of good practice.
· Promotion of your volunteering opportunities on national databases, our own regular newsletters, and through the work of our ‘Youth Volunteer Advisors’.
· Information on training, recognition, accreditation and funding to support your volunteers.
· Information and guidance on promoting youth participation and youth-led action in their own activities and projects.
· Input regarding youth involvement, participation and volunteering within partnership working, meetings, networking, strategies and planning.
For existing groups, organisations, clubs, or anyone considering involving 16-25 year olds in volunteering or to wanting to recognise or accredit what they do, please contact our ‘Youth Volunteering Development Managers’ to discuss your ideas, volunteering opportunities or needs; or for any help, information, advice or assistance.
