Free training for youth volunteering

The Russell Commission charity has launched a free programme of capacity building activities, to help organisations work more effectively with young volunteers.

The new charity, which will be launched on 8 May 2006, aims to engage up to 1 million new young volunteers over the next five years. The training will help organisations to gear up for this challenge, enabling them to develop high quality youth volunteering opportunities for 16 - 25 year olds.

Bookings will be taken on a first come first served basis, and we anticipate a high level of demand, so act quickly to reserve a place.

The charity’s first funding rounds for volunteering opportunities will also be announced on 8th May, and will provide organisations with financial resources to develop their youth volunteering programmes.
