The Young Leadership Volunteer Programme
A unique programme, funded by v, in which young people will identify, design and deliver a local project of their choice for the benefit of the community. Young people aged 16-25 will get the chance to think up and run their own local projects. They will attend 2 two-day residentials and receive encouragement and help throughout to develop new skills and complete their projects. The Programme will run for the next 3 years. NCB are currently recruiting Volunteer Leaders in the South West. If you would like to know more about the programme, please contact Geraldine Lowe, the Programme coordinator on 020 7833 6830 or email glowe@ncb.org.uk or Mena Wright Volunteer Programme Administrator mwright@ncb.org.uk.
