Volunteering for young people
Currently in Surrey, a third of 16-19 year olds volunteer and people under the age of 25 are twice as likely to volunteer as those above it.
You can contribute to your community by doing loads of activities including:
- Visiting people
- Helping a sports group or club
- Caring for animals
- Leading a group or being a member of a committee
- Giving information or advice
- Raising money or taking part in a sponsored event
RAVS is working with vinvolved, for more information visit surreyvinvolved.org
If you've just completed your A levels or have just left university and are wondering what to do next, why not consider taking a year out with CSV (Community Service Volunteers)? CSV places hundreds of volunteers in 'gap year' opportunities every year. Placements last for between 4-12 months and projects are located across the UK.
For more information follow this link http://www.csv.org.uk/Volunteer/Full-time/Fantastic+Opportunity.htm.
Volunteering can improve your social life and help you gain skills for higher education or employment – what are you waiting for?
