The Department for Education and Skills commissioned The NYA to undertake the six-month research project in October 2006.
Young People's Volunteering and Skills Development aimed to explore the skills, knowledge and attitudinal development that young people derive from volunteering, and was envisaged as a first stage in identifying the range of skills gained through volunteering that can be translated and potentially accredited to provide evidence for employability.
The project combined fieldwork with young volunteers (and workers) in 30 diverse projects throughout England, with a review of relevant literature.
