Published to coincide with Youth Work Week (1 to 7 November) and written in young people's own words, the magazine carries a range of articles on getting a taste for volunteering, supporting other young people, working with the wider community and improving public services. There's even a section on solving volunteering problems - Ask Ann.
Joint editor Carolyn Oldfield said: "Young people's own stories offer a snapshot of the varied world of youth action and engagement - what they do, why they do it, what they've given and what they've gained.
"Whether it's sharing skills and experiences with other young people, taking action on local community issues, improving public services or influencing local or national decisionmakers, these stories show us how everyone gains. Communities benefit from young people's enthusiasm, commitment and skills, services and organisations improve and become more responsive to people's needs and young people get a chance to try out new activities, take on responsibilities, gain skills and develop insights into other lives.
