Volunteering can offer young people who are NEET much more than work experience. With the right opportunity and support, it can build confidence, skills, connections and a sense of purpose. It can also strengthen civic participation and citizenship, giving young people a voice in their communities and enabling them to contribute their ideas and talents while creating pathways towards education, training or employment.
Our new Referring Professionals Toolkit is here! Designed for social prescribers, support workers, employment advisers and other professionals, it provides practical resources for better conversations about volunteering. Explore guidance, personal development tools and resources to help identify the right opportunities, overcome barriers and support more meaningful, successful volunteering journeys.
