TOP TIP: Try and contact universities to see if you can establish relationships with specific departments depending on what skills you need. You may be able to recruit volunteers who study marketing and communications, web design, graphic design and more!

Do you have a question to ask our Young Volunteering Ambassadors?

Our team of Young Volunteering Ambassadors, aged 19-25, are crucial in that they help to influence the direction and focus of the Time to Change project.

We meet once a month where organisations signed up to the project have the opportunity to gain direct feedback on role descriptions, social media posts, websites or literature. They will be able to offer their guidance and opinion on whether you are hitting the mark when it comes to 19-25 year olds.

To help organisations tap into their invaluable insight and perspective, the Time to Change project has introduced the Ambassador AMA!. If you have any questions for our Ambassadors, simply follow the link below to submit them. Your answer will then be returned after our next Volunteer Ambassador meeting and, if applicable, will be included in the next edition of the 'Ambassador Insight' newsletter!

Join one of our next Recruiting and Managing Young Volunteers (19-25) training workshop! New dates available for March and April.

The Time to Change project runs monthly training workshops on Recruiting and Managing Young Volunteers (19-25 years old). If you or your organisation are interested in attending, then please follow the link to the sign-up form below. 

In these sessions, we cover:

• The benefits to your organisation of recruiting young people as volunteers.
• The potential barriers between young people and volunteering and how to break these down.
• What young people are looking for in a volunteer role.
• Ways to make volunteering roles more appealing and attractive to young people.
• Ways to manage young volunteers effectively to keep them engaged.
• Issues around board diversity and in particular a lack of young trustees (under 30)
