Youth
volunteering

Surrey vinvolved is an exciting project working across the county to increase the quantity, quality and diversity of youth volunteering. We have bases at each of the Surrey YMCAs.

Surrey vinvolved is part of a national initiative funded by v, the youth volunteering charity, and vinvolved teams can be found across the country.

Surrey vinvolved has 3 main aims:

• To create new volunteering opportunities across all sectors, catering for all interests.

• To broker young people into opportunities and support them to set up their own projects.

• To champion youth-led action through developing and facilitating Youth Action Teams.

If you are aged between 16 and 25 and would like to volunteer or if you are an organisation wanting to involve young people we would love to hear from you. Please contact us or visit our website – www.surreyvinvolved.org

“Volunteering increases your ability to communicate, your confidence increases, you gain new skills and experiences and make really good friends. I love volunteering; it is something that sets you apart and gives you unique experiences.” Verity, volunteer, aged 17, Reigate

“Its great having young volunteers, especially doing youth work because they relate so well to the young people that come along. They are full of energy and ideas. They make sure the project keeps refreshing itself.” Ellie Messham , Manager, Barn Youth Project, Guildford
