Involve young people

How the SVP Involves Young People

Our vision is to inspire young people through the transformational experience of volunteering.  Being part of a life changing, safe and supportive environment helps young people grow positively.  

Our Young Vincentians (YV) programmes take our Vincentian ethos into schools, colleges, youth hubs, universities and parishes, to help sow seeds of a lifetime of service. 

All over England and Wales Children, Young People and Young Adults are taking up the invitation to join the Vincentian family and turn their concern into real action! These groups are based in schools and parishes across England and Wales. The energy they bring are hugely important to the greater work of the St Vincent de Paul Society.

Safeguarding

One of the ways we aim to keep children and youth safe is by ensuring that our volunteers and youth leaders first have an Enhanced DBS in place. We also have Safeguarding procedures in place.
