Choosing to volunteer - Ofsted Report
22 February 2012
This survey evaluates volunteering programmes located within a sample of schools, colleges, and youth and community settings. It reports on the experiences of the young people, particularly the most vulnerable and disadvantaged, who participate in volunteering programmes.
Ofsted Inspectors collected first-hand evidence through visits to six secondary schools, seven colleges and six youth and community organisations. They also gathered online evidence about the experiences and views of volunteering from around 328 young people. In addition, Ofsted conducted three focus groups with young people.
Tony Gallagher, Ofsted’s National Advisor for Youth Support said:
‘Volunteering not only enriches participants, community groups and civil society more widely but can provide alternative opportunities for young people to achieve their goals.’
