For groups

There are many organisations, groups and schools that support young people to take part in a range of volunteering activities in the community.  Whilst it is important for young people to be supported and encouraged to sign up for a My Saltire account and to take ownership of their own volunteering, we do recognise that this is not possible for all young people.  A Group Administration function has been developed to help you support your young volunteers gain the recognition they deserve.  

What is Group Administration?   

A Group Administrator account allows all volunteer involving organisations (VIOs) and schools to request and print Saltire Awards certificates on behalf of the young people they support. 

Why use Group Administration? 

• Request Saltire Awards certificates on behalf of the young people you support  
• Easy way to manage certificate requests 
• Have PDF copies of certificates to share with young person and save to file 
• Be able to print certificates as and when required 
• Ensure your young volunteers are recognised and celebrated for all the great things they do 

Before you become a Group Administrator 

There are a few things to think about before you become a group administrator.  Have a look at the checklist below to ensure you can meet these requirements before proceeding. 

• Your organisation demonstrates good practice around youth volunteering 
• Your organisation has a clear understanding of volunteering and the criteria The Saltire Awards recognises
• Your organisation can keep its own accurate records of young people’s volunteering hours 
• Your organisation is committed to encouraging and supporting young people to create their own My Saltire account (where possible)
