• To develop your understanding further take part in the 'involving young people as volunteers' online e-learning module.
• Look through our useful resource list guide here. Two recent additions here are a 'preparing for young volunteers checklist' and 'the best resources for successful social media engagement in 2018'

Promoting your volunteering opportunities

• You can register your volunteering opportunities online on our new Volunteering Wales digital platform by following this link. Here you can use the platform to manage your volunteers and they can log their hours spent volunteering and earn digital achievement badges.
