The advisers, drawn from various youth organisations, will identify local volunteering opportunities, broker placements in areas of community need and provide guidance.
They will have close links with organisations such as Connexions and will help identify under-represented groups of young people. The advisers will also help form youth action teams of young volunteers.
These workers will be supported by an equal number of youth volunteer development managers, who will work at a strategic level to make volunteering more accessible.
The managers will provide training to equip staff with the skills to engage young volunteers. They will also set, monitor and evaluate targets.
