National Youth Agency: Empowerment - Young people share theirstories of volunteering in the community

1 min read
The latest issue of YouthAction magazine - young people taking action in their communities - from The National Youth Agency features more than 25 stories of young people's volunteering, told in their own words.

It celebrates the different ways young people volunteer and take action on issues that matter to them, locally, nationally and overseas.

It includes the vast range of issues they are involved in, including voluntary youth work, campaigning for a skatepark, organising a music festival, drugs awareness, gap year support for deaf young people and bringing the art of film making to the masses. Alongside this are resources - organisations to contact to help get you started and forthcoming events, initiatives and funding to get you started. There's even a problem page where Ann, The NYA's own volunteering agony aunt, provides timely and helpful advice on volunteering abroad, younger volunteers and peer mentoring.
