Here's your chance to make things happen!
We're looking for incredible people aged 16-25 with the passion, energy and determination to address issues and be involved in organising and running events involving young people across England.

Volunteers are based at BBC radio stations in 21 locations across England. They are involved in liasing with local community organisations and the media to promote volunteering among young people and create exciting volunteering opportunities that tackle real community issues and are led and inspired by young people.

Opportunties are full time and available for between 4-12 months.

Meet a CSV Agents4Change volunteer!

Helen Clare, 23, from Birmingham has spent the last 8 months as a CSV Agents4Change volunteer based in Birmingham at BBC Radio WM.

Here she talks about her experience:

“One of the most memorable projects that I worked with was a Somali Women’s Support Centre in Small Heath, Birmingham. We wanted to give the centre a much needed makeover whilst also organising a family fun day where the whole community could come together and get involved. Activities on the day included face painting, a bouncy castle, henna, food and drinks and Splat-the-Rat. All of these activities were run by Agents4Change volunteers.

"I found it incredibly rewarding, although challenging at times too!"

All of the volunteers were so grateful for the opportunity to have volunteered on this project, as were the community to us for organising this event. Everyone worked incredibly hard and it was absolutely brilliant to see people working together for such a worthwhile project. It was amazing to see barriers and prejudices being broken down through a volunteering project such as this.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience as a volunteer for CSV. I found it incredibly rewarding, although challenging at times too! But I feel that I have gained so many valuable skills; project management, presentation skills and knowledge of the media, to name a few. I know that I wouldn't be in the same position that I am in now without the time that I spent with CSV. "
