A Community First Yorkshire event

Volunteer Co-ordinators Network Meeting

Would you like to encourage more young people aged 14 – 25 to volunteer with your organisation? Why not join us as we explore some of the practical considerations and benefits of involving young volunteers.

What will you learn?

We are thrilled to have Dave Stott, the Assistant Director of Volunteering and Safeguarding at The Royal Voluntary Service, with us to share his young volunteer model. We will explore good practice when involving young volunteers, how to create an age-appropriate environment and will hear about the impact and benefits of involving young people.

We will also be joined by Hetty Nanor, Community Volunteering Project Officer with Hambleton Community Action, who will introduce HCA’s Supported Volunteering in North Yorkshire website.

As usual, the session will provide an opportunity to explore the topics further with other volunteer coordinators and to raise any issues or concerns you may have about any aspect of volunteer management.

If you have any specific questions you would like to put to the network, please submit these before the meeting by emailing communitysupport@communityfirstyorkshire.org.uk.

Who should attend?

This is a network meeting for volunteer co-ordinators from across North Yorkshire to come together to share information, advice, tips and thoughts on all aspects of volunteer management.

Please note this training is aimed at voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations and groups based in North Yorkshire or delivering services within North Yorkshire. 

What’s included?

All attendees will receive a copy of the presentations and notes from the session.
