For organisations

Thinking about involving young volunteers in your organisation’s work or need some support?

If your organisation is new to involving volunteers in your work or you’d just like a bit of a refresher, we recommend you head over to the Volunteer Scotland website where you will find lots of really helpful information to help you to get started and to support your new or existing volunteers.

Ready to advertise a volunteer opportunity?

Head over to Volunteer Scotland’s Volunteering Zone to find out more about advertising your volunteer opportunity to young people across Scotland.

Young people can search these volunteer opportunities through this website.

Need some help tracking your volunteers’ hours?

We have created a handy template that you can use to keep a log of all the hours your young volunteers carry out.

By using this template, you will be able to keep an accurate record of all the volunteering being done with your organisation. It will also be really useful if you decide to register to become a Saltire Awards Group Administrator. Find out more about becoming a Group Administrator

Do you know a young person who has made an outstanding contribution to their local community through volunteering?

The Summit Award recognises young volunteers who have gone above and beyond, to have a positive impact in their community and/or their own development. Find out more about the Summit Award and how to nominate a young person.

Need more help?

Find your local Third Sector Interface (TSI) who can provide additional support.
