Volunteering for a campaigning organisation allows volunteers to help make things happen for large charities. Find out what the grass roots activists get up to here.

YAA Training

Hi

Yesterday was a long day.... I went on a bit more training for the Youth Achievement Award (YAA).  This time though it was to learn about being a moderator for the awards. 

This was the first part to the training and there is a couple more parts to it.  It was rather useful in some ways..Well you got see what other young people had done to gain there awards and talk to those running the award about how they doing it.  So you get ideas for challenges for young people to do which really can be anything!

Gave a better idea of what young people need to be able to show and information thats needed to be able to gain the award at certian levels.  Think it also showed how much work is involved in and how much commitment is needed for the whole YAA, from all involved, from the young person, to the group leader and of course the moderator. 

So all in all it was a good day and may things a bit clearer.
