Youth participation organisation Young Devon has been running its Participation in Action scheme for seven years. The scheme aims to empower young people and help them to volunteer in their communities. To date more than 200 young people in Devon have taken part.
Unlike most other schemes, the project is accredited by curriculum development organisation Asdan. It received £185,353 from the Big Lottery Fund for a year-long programme in which it will be tested out in eight youth groups in other parts of England.
