Youth volunteering programme launched
30th November 2007, 1:59 pm
Schemes to be funded under the new national youth volunteering programme (in England), now named vinvolved, have been announced. They are split into two: vinvolved teams of youth experts who will encourage more community organisations to open their doors to young volunteers, and vinvolved projects providing a diverse range of volunteering opportunities.
Where there are still gaps in coverage around the country, a second round of applications will be announced before the end of December. See wearev for more details and a download of the funded schemes.
The scheme that offers grants of up to £2500 for young people aged 16 to 25 in England to set up their own community volunteering projects, vcashpoint, opens for applications on 5th December.
