Volunteer

v, the national young volunteers service, is an independent charity dedicated to helping young people volunteer in ways that matter to them.


Its mission is to make volunteering opportunities so diverse, compelling and easy to get involved with that giving up your time to help others becomes a natural lifestyle choice for 16-25 year olds in England.

Since its launch in May 2006, v has worked with over 500 charities and community organisations to create over 925,000 youth volunteering opportunities. Of these, 467,000 are short term or taster opportunities, 421,000 are part time, and 20,000 are full time. Over 400,000 of these have already been taken up, with the rest being offered to young people up to March 2011.
Opportunities for all young people in England

v believes that every young person has the right to volunteer, and reaches out to disadvantaged young people and those who've never considered volunteering. v's projects are designed to engage young people who are under-represented in volunteering – for example, minority groups and those not in education, employment or training.
