The 'Please Stand Up' Project: Youth Volunteering East Renfrewshire

There are loads of opportunities for young people to volunteer in East Renfrewshire. The Please Stand Up project exists to make sure that young people are aware of these, and that they are involved in developing new opportunities in areas that interest them.

Whether you fancy being a befriender, working with children, helping out with charity events, becoming an IT tutor - or a whole host of other opportunities - Voluntary Action can help you find something that suits your needs. If you're 16-25, we'll register you for a national MV award, where you'll get accreditation for the number of hours you spend volunteering and a certificate when you reach 50,100 or 200 hours.

To find out more about MV and volunteering opportunities for young people, just contact Ruth on 0141 561 1045 or click here to contact Ruth via Email.

Voluntary Action also run one project specifically for 16-25 year olds - the MnM (Media and Millenium) Project. MnM provides opportunities for young people to learn skills in film-making, website design, graphic design and digital photography, then use those skills to help community groups with media projects.
