V is for Volunteering
Cumbria Youth Alliance is working with Wearev the government initiative to encourage 16 – 25 year olds to take part in volunteering in their own community. We have places for 20 full time volunteers in the age range 16 – 25 and you need to be quick as places are filling quickly.
The young person will get:
• Up to £60 per week in volunteering expenses or a maximum of 26 weeks
• Access up to £500 towards training and development programmes that increase knowledge and skills
• Volunteer in a organisation of their choice
• Help to source an opportunity if they don’t have an organization to volunteer in
• Get help to move on after the volunteering programme
• Chance to network with other young volunteers across Cumbria
• Can volunteer up to 30 hours per week – some of this could be at home
• Can cover all sorts of volunteering from administration to youth work to helping the elderly
• Is open to all young people in the age range in Cumbria
• Is open to all organisations who are members of Cumbria Youth Alliance
If you are a young person or you know a young person who may be interested in taking part in this volunteering programme then give as a ring to ask for a staff member to come and visit you and talk to you about the programme. Organisations that we are already working with on this programme include
Mobex
Youthworks Egremont
Bendrigg Outdoor Centre
Generate Trust Carlisle
John Muir Trust
The programme is funded by Wearev and will run for 2 years in Cumbria Contact Terry Lampitt at Cumbria Youth Alliance 01229 -870150 or ring central office on 01900 822110.
