V-Involved Hertfordshire
Who are we?
The vinvolved team in Hertfordshire runs the new national youth volunteering programme in the county. It’s for all 16-25 year olds and harnesses their ideas, passions and enthusiasm in all sorts of ways, to deliver benefit to communities all over the county.
Key objectives of this new scheme are to embed a volunteering ethos, and increase the number of volunteering opportunities for young people. It brings much needed help to voluntary and not for profit organisations.
How do we do this?
We work very closely with Hertfordshire Volunteer Centres and with voluntary, community and not for profit organisations to develop capacity to use young volunteers. We also provide advice and training for organisations working with young volunteers.
We meet with organisations to discuss their volunteering needs and together we will develop opportunities that will appeal to young people. vinvolved will advertise the opportunities on www.vinspired.com the national portal where young people go to find out about volunteering in their local area. We will then meet the young people who respond and help them find opportunities that interest them.
Young people also come direct to our local vinvolved team looking to volunteer and we help them find suitable organisations to work with.
