Millennium Volunteers
Millennium Volunteers is a Government backed project, which encourages all 16 to 25 year olds, whatever their backgrounds, to volunteer their time.
The idea is you ‘build on what you’re into’, i.e. do stuff that interests you and helps others at the same time!
The key principles behind Millennium Volunteers are:
Personal Commitment - in the form of an agreed plan, it is hoped that you will aim to carry out 50 to 200 hours of sustained volunteering over a one-year period.
Voluntary - criteria is that you are not getting paid for the activity and that it is not part of school or college curriculum hours.
Recognition - although we recognise achievements from the word go, you will achieve a MV certificate after 50 & 100 hours volunteering and an MV award after 200 hours.
Variety - Volunteers are involved in a wide variety of activities all over the county, some of whom have gained permanent jobs as a result of their volunteering.
CV - The time you give will be rewarded through having an Millennium Volunteers award on your CV showing that you are committed, honest, reliable and are willing to give up your own time to help others.
