Organisations looking to involve more young people in their work may find a new guide from VolunteerHub particularly helpful.
As VolunteerHub highlights:
“Want to recruit younger volunteers but not sure how best to do this? Young people can be some of the best volunteers – they bring different experiences and energy, a fresh perspective, enthusiasm and new ideas. They’re motivated, energetic, and eager to make their mark.”
The guide provides practical tips and best practice guidance to help organisations effectively support and manage young volunteers.
It covers a range of useful topics, including:
- Why young volunteers are important
- Their motivations and expectations
- Setting clear guidelines and roles
- Effective communication approaches
- Recognising and valuing contributions
This resource can be particularly useful for organisations looking to diversify their volunteer base, create inclusive opportunities, and better understand how to engage younger people in meaningful ways.
VolunteerHub, founded in the 1990s and now part of BetterGood, is a US-based volunteer management platform used by organisations worldwide to support volunteer recruitment, registration, tracking and reporting.
