why join Youth SVP?

Volunteering in a Youth SVP group will give your more confidence, make you feel good about yourself, improve your leadership skills and broaden your career prospects.

You can also include this voluntary work in your record of achievement, UCAS form or CV. If you are involved in community schemes such as the Duke of Edinburgh award, it will count for the 15 hours service.

There are many people in the community who urgently need the help and support of young people like yourselves. You can make a real difference in their lives. Youth SVP gives you a chance to put Christianity into action.
