Millennium Volunteers

Millennium Volunteers is a highly successful national initiative which supports and recognises young people involved in voluntary work.

Open to 16 to 24 year olds the programme provides an excellent framework for personal development and training.

The scheme rewards those who clock up a set amount of hours doing voluntary work within a 12-month period with certificates and awards which are recognised by UCAS.

As such a Millennium Volunteers award is a great addition to your record of achievement or CV.

It will also give you the opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills, boost your confidence and experience another way of life.

By volunteering through Millennium Volunteers you will receive a certificate for completing 100 hours of voluntary work to officially recognise your commitment to helping others.

And if you complete another 100 hours you'll receive an award signed by the Secretary of State for Education and Skills.

If you're already carrying out some voluntary work you can backdate 50 hours and could already be half way to an award.

You can get involved with just about any opportunity from look after animals and children to helping the elderly and taking part in sporting activities.

You can even start your own project with our support.

We have hundreds of vacancies for you to choose to take part in on our database at our Volunteer Centre in Weston-super-Mare.
