Youth Volunteering
The Third Sector Research Centre has published a report on factors which predict youth volunteering in the UK following a survey of 4760 young people aged 10 – 15.
Key findings include:
- 52% of young people volunteered at least once a year and of these, 19% did so at least once a month
- Young people who take part in cultural activities are 65% more likely to volunteer than those who did not
- Young people are also more likely to volunteer if they are female, live in a rural area, have a greater number of close friends, attend religious classes, or have a parent who volunteers
Our Reading Leaders programme is a great way for children and young people to volunteer to support their younger peers. Click here for more information or give us a call on 01274 692219.
