Get Involved!

Becoming a Volunteer allows you to make a difference in your community!

​

Why not try out a career path, gain 'hands-on' experience, receive recognition/certificates that can be used as evidence for Job/College/University Applications and give you an up-to-date 'work' reference on your CV, that can ultimately make you stand out from the crowd!

​

Young Volunteers

​

We also support young people to volunteer through the University of South Wales & schools through the Welsh Baccalaureate qualification.

​

Whether you need to gain experience for your CV/College/University application, meet DofE/Welsh Bacc hours, or you’d like to try something new, volunteering could be just what you’re looking for.   

 

GAVO have dedicated Youth Volunteering Officers who are ready to support you in finding the perfect volunteering opportunity locally. We will work together to find an opportunity that interests you and meets your needs.   

 

Volunteering is a chance to get involved in a fun, free activity that benefits you, your family, your friends and your community. It can challenge you, your perceptions of other people, your knowledge and skills and can really help you develop in so many ways. It can even be a way to ‘try’ out a field you may want to work in later in life. You can make new friends and volunteering can be great to talk about to your other friends.  

 

Whatever you do, it will look great on your CV. Your experience will give you that extra something to talk about when you go for interviews. Your volunteering will equip you with valuable skills that any employer will want to see. We also run a recognition scheme which can be used to evidence your hours.
