GwirVol
What is GwirVol?
It's the new name for Youth Volunteering in Wales.
GwirVol is an initiative made up of a partnership from the Voluntary, Community; public and private sectors and led by the views of Young people in Wales. The initiative exists to take forward the recommendations of the Russell Commission accepted by the Welsh Assembly Government.
The aim of the initiative is to achieve a sustained "step change "to youth volunteering in Wales, through the involvement and leadership of young people
- To increase the current percentage of young people between the ages of 16-25 who want to volunteer
- To increase the scope of volunteering opportunities, to include those young people who experience barriers, in terms of disadvantage, ability, and ethnicity.
- To celebrate the involvement of young people, through increased recognition
- To ensure that every volunteering opportunity represents a high quality positive experience
- To maintain a continued commitment from the Welsh Assembly government and other funding partners to achieve our aim.
