Millennium Volunteers

Millennium Volunteers is a UK wide programme designed to promote and recognise sustained volunteering among young people aged 16 to 24. Since its launch in 1999 over 3,660 young people have participated in the programme in Northern Ireland with over 1,435 receiving their Award of Excellence for 200 hours of voluntary work. In Northern Ireland the programme is funded by the Department of Education and the Volunteer Development Agency is the National Delivery Organisation. Millennium Volunteers is based on nine principles, which underpin the quality of practice for organisations wishing to involve young people as volunteers.
