YouthWorks YouthWorks is the exciting project funded by the new youth volunteering charity v, with an aim to train a new generation of youth workers. Young people who access the programme will volunteer full time for 6 months in one of London Youth's Quality Marked clubs. During this time participants will take their Level 1 Foundation in Youth Work as well as taking part in four residentials and life coaching throughout to support them and enable personal development. The project is fully funded and volunteers are able to claim back all expenses through London Youth. To listen to an audio overview of the project click here >>> Keyfund The volunteer and their youth club supervisor both gain free training in Keyfund, London Youth’s cutting edge youth action model. This enables them to individually organise and run funded youth action projects with members of the youth club, where the budgets range from £250 to £2000. More information on Keyfund can be found on here. Coaching London Youth works with Striding Out to offer all full-time volunteers’ group and one to one coaching sessions, throughout the six month programme. Our hope is that this element will give time for volunteer’s personal development, making them a better volunteer and more inspiring role models. It will also give volunteers another tool to use when working with young people in their youth clubs and hopefully open up some interesting areas of thought and development. 2010 Recruitment London Youth are currently recruiting for this year’s programme and young people who would like to apply should talk to their local club. Applications are completed by youth clubs interested in promoting a young person already associated with their organisation. The young person needs to be aged 16-25 years old and committed to volunteering full time from March to August 2010. The clubs should have started or been awarded a Level of the London Youth Quality Mark. For more information on London Youth’s Quality Mark contact Marie Kelly on 020 7549 8804 or marie.kelly@londonyouth.org.uk. For me the best thing about the Youth Works programme is that it’s opened doors for me in many ways, with confidence, meeting new people, looking forward to my future. Just a better positive feeling for myself.
