Youth Volunteering
Young Suffolk is
committed to supporting the development of youth volunteering
initiatives, strategies and projects that engage young people in
positive activities that leave a lasting legacy within their local
community.
Inspired by the
concept of a ‘Big Society’ and in particular the legacy of the 2012
Olympics, Young Suffolk is working in partnership with a wide range
of agencies and partners to develop and deliver youth volunteering
programmes in leadership, sport and community involvement that
bring about lasting change within local communities as well as
honing young people’s life skills, work skills and sense of
responsibility and place within society.
Young Suffolk
also offers support to clubs and organisations seeking to develop
youth volunteering programmes and projects within its own
practice.
