IYA Project in hunt for young volunteers
CVS Inverclyde is on the hunt for young volunteers aged between 12 and 25 years who are keen to make a difference to youth volunteering in the area, as it forges ahead with its new Inverclyde Youth Action (IYA) project.
They will join forces as a youth subgroup to feed into IYA, which aims to increase access to more quality volunteering opportunities for young people that can help spark a change in their lives.
