Young volunteers

Volunteering is a great way to learn and develop new skills, gain experience for future employment and 'give back' to an organisation that has previously offered you support. It's also a great way to get to know and help your local community.

What is Flourish?

Norfolk's shared ambition for all children and young people. Inspired by the things children and young people said were important to them.

• Family and friends
• Access to learning
• The opportunity to lead a good life
• Being understood
• Building resilience
• Respect for their individuality
• Feeling safe
• Being healthy

The awards recognises young people's volunteering and participation and the impact it has on their community as well as on their own personal development.

The awards are open to any 11-25 year olds in Norfolk who are involved in a volunteering or participation project.

How do I achieve the award?

• Check the organisation you support is running the award, if they're not you could suggest it to them.
• Set your goal! This will be achieved through your volunteering or participation and be linked to one of the FLOURISH letters.
• Participate or volunteer for at least 5 hours related to your goal with support from your organisation and receive your award!!
