Volunteer Centre Swindon has been involved in the Millennium Volunteers project for the last 6 years.

Millennium Volunteers (MVs) are young people who give up their free time to help their local communities. You might find them coaching a school football team, working at a community radio station or helping create a garden for local residents. MV allows young people to build on their interests, to develop themselves and make a difference to their community at the same time.

Through the course of their voluntary work, MVs will gain valuable skills and experience that they can make use of in the workplace, such as team-working, decision making and communication. MVs can learn practical skills too, such as designing websites or cooking. Having MV on your CV is something that really makes employers and Universities sit up and take notice.

So if you are aged between 16 and 24, Millennium Volunteers could be for you. MV is a national movement with 130 MV Projects established around England, mostly based in local volunteering centres, schools or colleges.

If you want to join MV, or speak to someone to find out more information, contact us or call 01793 420557.
