how to start a Youth SVP group?

Youth SVP is well organised and managed by a  full-time experienced youth officer and a team trained diocesan volunteers. The services of the youth officers and the various support resources are available free of charge.

Youth SVP operates the latest child protection procedures in co-operation with COPCA and all Youth SVP members are covered by public liability and personal accident insurance taken out with the Catholic Church Insurance Association.

there are 3 easy steps involved in starting a Youth SVP group


 Step 1 - Find a Group Adviser

 You need to provide an adult who will support the young people and be involved initially in setting up a suitable activity. We call this person the Group Adviser. The Group Adviser need have no previous knowledge of SVP and two or more adults can share the role.

 

 


 Step 2 - Contact the SVP Youth Office

 When you have your Group Adviser, contact Paul Lever at his office (see contact us). Paul will set up a meeting with the Group Adviser. This meeting will deal with the sort of community activities undertaken, the meeting structure and the various resources available.

 

 


 Step 3 - Be ready for the SVP Youth Officer's Presentation

 Paul Lever, or one of his trained colleagues will return at a later date to give a video presentation to the young people. A follow up meeting should be held shortly afterwards for any young people interested in setting up a group.

 


If you would like to ask any questions regarding the process of starting a Youth SVP group please contact  Paul. If you would like to receive postal information or a call back please visit our resource section for our current publicity and media.
