The Gozo NGOs Association in collaboration with the Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector is organising an information meeting in Gozo on the Youth Voluntary Work Scheme 2015: Supporting Youth Volunteers to b an active part of the community.

Voluntary Organisations are invited to participate in this scheme by hosting Youth Volunteers for a definite period within their organisation.

The Support for Youth Voluntary Work Scheme aims to support Young People taking an active part in voluntary organisations.

The first goal is to help young people improve their skills and employment prospects by giving them an opportunity to take up volunteering as part of their formal and informal learning process. It will also enable them to discover the value of voluntary service and helps to foster a sense of community and active citizenship.

The second goal of the scheme is to support Voluntary Organisations in attracting young people to volunteering, enabling them to enhance their capacity with new volunteers and fresh ideas.

Interested Voluntary Organisations will be invited to submit an application to host youth volunteers.

The meeting is taking place at the Gozo NGO Centre, Xewkija, on Thursday, the 2nd of April, starting at 5.00pm.
