Carolyn Oldfield, joint editor of YouthAction, said: "Young people's own stories offer a snapshot of the varied world of youth action and volunteering - what they do, what they've given, what they've gained. Sharing skills and experiences with other young people, helping older or younger people, influencing local or national decision-makers or improving where they live - it's all here in YouthAction.
"And, as the stories tell us, everyone gains. Communities benefit from young people's enthusiasm, commitment and perspectives. 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."
