PAVS Youth Volunteering Fair September 23rd

PAVS Volunteering Pembrokeshire will be holding a Youth Volunteering Fair on September 23rd 2009 at The Pavilion, Withybush, 12pm-5pm.  This is an open event so people can drop in at any time throughout the day, for five minutes or five hours! 

Various voluntary organisations will be attending and there will be opportunities to speak to the volunteer managers of each organisation.  We are planning to hold workshops, presentations and ‘taster sessions’ throughout the day.  There will be information available on many of the volunteering schemes aimed at young people, including the Duke of Edinburgh scheme, the Welsh Baccalaureate, Millennium Volunteers, Asdan and Youth Cymru Awards.    

Volunteering can provide work experience and accreditation which can enhance your CV or UCAS application, for example, so please come along and find out more.  Although the event is aimed primarily at people aged 16-24, anyone interested in volunteering is welcome to attend.

For more information please contact Caroline or Jean at PAVS Volunteering Pembrokeshire on 01437 769422 or on volunteering@pavs.org.uk
