Youth Volunteering
This program is designed for secondary school students from year 9-13, as a way of developing leadership through volunteering within their school or community environment. Students work towards three awards, that look great on their CV. Resources and leadership workshops are available throughout the programme. This is great opportunity for students who are already volunteering within the school or community to be recognized for their dedication to giving back.
