On Tuesday 4 February 2020 young people from the What Next? Programme had the opportunity to understand the role of a volunteer with hands on experience.

At Autonomie, volunteers are at the heart of all the we do and already some young people volunteers as part of our ‘Be

A Champion’ programme.

As part of their hands-on experience into understanding the role of a volunteer, on Tuesday young people developed their own session plan and each young person ran their own activity.

Young people demonstrated their clear understanding of what is expected of a volunteer.

One young person said: ‘this is a piece of cake’ and another person said: ‘I felt empowered’ during the debrief of how they felt their activity went.

Thank you to all young people for their enthusiasm and effort and to the What Next? Programme session facilitators.
