Youth Action Team
What is the Youth Action Team?
The Youth Action Team is a group of young people who commit time to volunteering each month to help Youth Volunteering Warrington. They give us advice about the best ways to work with young people and they help us with all of our publicity.
They organise events, sit on decision making panels, give presentations, share ideas on marketing campaigns, represent Youth Volunteering Warrington at conferences… The list is endless!
The roles are varied and tailored to the individual’s area of interest. There is accredited training available, as well as fun and exciting residentials. Not to mention a great opportunity to develop new skills! Everyone has something to offer, including you!!
