York Youth Community Action and Volunteering
08/03/2011 - York Youth Community Action Pilot for 14-16 year olds
RESOLVED:(i) That the outcome and impact of the Youth Community
Action Programme be noted.
(ii) That the importance of youth community action and
volunteering be endorsed.
(iii) That the recommendations detailed in Annex A of the
report be approved to ensure that the legacy of the programme is sustained.
REASON: Youth volunteering and community action offers a great opportunity for CYC to continue to foster relations between voluntary groups and schools to provide the city’s 14-16 year olds with a range of opportunities that would otherwise have been unavailable to them and for young people to achieve demonstrable outcomes for the benefit of communities, other individuals and the environment.
