Police Scotland Youth Volunteers promotes a practical way for young people to understand policing by supporting the Police in their local area through volunteering. As part of this, young people are given a chance for their voice to be heard and encouraged to promote good citizenship. The programme is open to all young people aged between 13 – 18, this allows those people to get an insight into policing in Scotland and inspire individuals to participate positively within their communities. Each PSYV group is coordinated by a Police Officer. On most cases the officer will carry out this role secondary to their full time position which can vary from School Based Officer to Community Officer / Community Safety. The coordinator is supported by a team of Adult Volunteers who come from all walks of life. Over Scotland we have adult volunteers who are teachers, Special Constable’s, support workers, Veterinary Assistants, Communication workers… the list is too big to complete. Aims of the PSYV: •Promote a practical understanding of policing amongst all young people. •Encourage the spirit of adventure and good citizenship. •Support local policing priorities through volunteering and give young people a chance to be heard. •Inspire young people to participate positively in their communities. Principles of the PSYV: •Members aged 13-17 (inclusive). •Youths who volunteer 3 hours a month – assisting in community and crime prevention measures. •Youth Volunteers that represent the diversity of their service area.

This befriending opportunity allows the befriender to make a positive difference for a young person, while also growing their own experience and enhancing their skills. Our befrienders offer one to one support to a young person ages 8 to 19, who has Cystic Fibrosis. Young people living with this condition have a demanding daily treatment regime at hone and sometimes experience limitations that can affect their confidence and ability to cope with the challenges of everyday living. They may also be socially isolated because of their condition. A befriender will meet with the young person every 1 to 2 weeks to build a trusting relationship. This will allow the young person space and as suitable environment to explore their feelings, discuss their fears, develop life skills and grow in the areas where they may be struggling.
