Remel McKenzie, 19, Lewisham - "For young people in my area to even consider volunteering, someone will have to give them something at the end. They don't care about the experience and won't see it as something that will help them in the long-term. It's given me a lot of confidence and made me less shy"
- Matthew Cartwright, 17, Hampshire - "I have been volunteering for a year as a Kikass Street Teamer and get a lot out of it, such as new experiences, meeting new people and fun. It has helped me realise what is out there. A lot of young people look down on volunteering but it is a stepping-stone to other things"
- Stephanie Crichton, 18, Dundee - "I am a full-time CSV volunteer at the Royal Blind School in Edinburgh. Volunteering helps you grow up and working at the school helps me see what I would be dealing with in the future. CSV pays for my accommodation, a weekly allowance and a food allowance on top".
