The vinvolved team at WAYC has been commissioned by v, the youth volunteering charity and has three main areas of focus:

1. Recruiting, supporting, promoting and celebrating volunteering across Warwickshire and Solihull.
2. Providing safe and quality placement opportunities.
3. Recruiting and supporting placement providers.

v provides opportunities for the volunteers to get involved in other activities such as Youth Action Teams, social events, fundraising, residential trips and consultation events.

Every v volunteer is assigned a vinvolved Youth Volunteer Advisor to offer regular support throughout the volunteering placement or project activity. They should also have a named supervisor at their placement, who provides the support and supervision structure.
