Youth Volunteers

Each PSYV group consists of 24 young people aged between 13 and 17 who each give up their own time to volunteer in their communities. As a youth volunteer, you would be expected to complete the PSYV Initial Training Programme which will prepare you for attending local and national volunteering events. The training contains multiple subjects across three units.
