JVN Young Adult Volunteering Programme

JVN's purpose is to promote, connect and support volunteers to enable charities across the Jewish and wider communities to do more. To this end, JVN has created a new programme specifically targeted at young adults to encourage involvement in volunteering. This programme has been built off research into young adults that JVN has conducted.

The JVN Young Adult Volunteering Programme will give participants a taste of what the charity sector has to offer in a fun, social and rewarding way. This is a pilot programme, and therefore you will be the first to experience this new programme! Please note that due to Covid-19 this programme may change.
