These four inspiring young volunteers will share the commitment and drive that energises and inspires them to give their time for the greater good of their community. Exploring the different models of volunteering and the very real returns that volunteers earn from their work, attending students will leave the session inspired to consider how they might seek out volunteering opportunities within their own communities.
