Shadow Board Podcast: Volunteering

Fast Forward’s Shadow Board Podcast-a brand new podcast created FOR young people, BY young people

Welcome to our second podcast, brought to you by Fast Forward!

Our Shadowboard was formed from a core aim within Fast Forward, to ensure our work is designed and developed with, by and for young people. It is made up of young people aged 14-25 years old from a range of different backgrounds, our Shadowboard are an integral part of the charity. A series of podcasts, partnering with other inspiring organisations, perfectly complements our mission of making young voices heard.

We thrive supporting young people to get involved in volunteering and taking action on what matters to them. Volunteering is a fantastic way for young people to build skills and confidence, increasing their employability

In this episode, we discuss volunteering, how to get involved and taking those first steps which can be nerve wracking! We talk about their personal journeys, the benefits and opportunities they’ve all enjoyed because of their participation.

If you’d like to get involved and start your journey with Fast Forward, please contact [e-mail] for a chat, and to get the ball rolling!
