Volunteer It Yourself combines DIY and volunteering by challenging young people aged 14-24 to help repair and refurbish youth and community facilities, whilst learning vocational trade skills on the job.
VIY participants are mentored by local professional tradespeople and can work towards and gain Entry Level City & Guilds trade skills accreditations, and the majority of young people who take part are disengaged or excluded (or at risk of disengagement/exclusion) from mainstream education and training, and/or unemployed.
Since 2011, over 13,000 young people have volunteered at 700+ VIY projects UK-wide, supported by 1,100+ trade skills mentors, gaining over 5,000 Entry Level 3 City & Guilds skills qualifications.
Activity is ongoing throughout the UK and we are always open to new potential projects as well as enquiries from people, groups and organisations wanting to get involved - contact us at info@teamviy.com.
