HOW WE CAN HELP YOUR ORGANISATION
Programs and Projects
We understand that taking volunteers, especially of different ages, can be a challenge for different organisations. But we want to make this process simple. By working closely with many groups across Scotland we have created tailored solutions to enable effective and inclusive youth volunteering.
Find out how below...
Inclusion Training
We provide tailored inclusion training for organisations and companies looking to integrate young volunteers. YouthVIP Youth Volunteering 'Impact' Sessions specialise in coaching organisations in best practice.
Volunteer Guidelines
Our Youth Volunteering Guidelines can help with practical support and steps to engage young volunteers.
Volunteers toolkit
Our YouthVIP Toolkit is the perfect starting point for any organisation looking to engage with young volunteers.
Sector engagement
Our team is working with Third Sector Interfaces, organisations and teams across Scotland to better support youth volunteering. We're always keen to hear from you if you're an organisation seeking to improve your youth volunteering.
Schools projects
We co-designed an adaptable resource that that connects ideas, practices and approaches around youth volunteering in schools. Our pilot project in 2023 trialled the resource with teachers, young people and youth workers to bring it to life in practice.
Youth Panel
Our ongoing Youth Panel of former and current volunteers feeds into our knowledge, recommendations and methods for volunteer action.
The Power of Youth Charter
The Power of Youth Charter gives organisations a framework of commitments to support and enable young people to shape and lead social action.
Signatories publicly commit to prioritising youth voice, opening up decision-making, collaborating across sectors, evidencing impact and celebrating young people's contributions. Over 500 organisations have signed so far, and it's growing fast. Scottish signatories can also opt in to Scotland-specific comms
Newsletter Archive
Our quarterly YouthVIP newsletter is designed to give you a glimpse into the work of YouthVIP - a small snapshot of the work we do across the year. The newsletter is sent out to subscribers at various points throughout the year, from the YouthVIP team straight to your inbox.
However, the insights shared and messages delivered remain just as valuable after their release, and we realise the merit in being able to dip in and out of previous editions. That's why we've created our newsletter archive; your guide to all things YouthVIP - past and present.
Volunteering Should Be...
Some of our wonderful YouthVIP Panel shared what they think volunteering should be; acting as recommendations and visions for the future.
