Young Voices Conference 2010

Join us in Manchester on 28th January 2010 as we celebrate the success of the Young Voices project.

Over the last three years, the CSV Young Voices project, with the support of the Big Lottery Young People’s Fund, has successfully involved young volunteers aged 11 to 18 in three library services in the North West of England. The energy and action of our young volunteers has had a huge impact not only on library services but across the whole community; not to mention on the volunteers themselves.

We will be launching the project evaluation report and hearing from three keynote speakers:

• Roy Clare CBE, Chief Executive of the Museums, Libraries and Archives council;
• The Minister for Culture and Tourism, Rt. Hon Margaret Hodge MBE MP;
• Dame Elisabeth Hoodless DBE, Executive Director of CSV.

Delegates will hear the inspiring stories of young people and their impact on local library services and find out how to set up similar volunteering projects at their local libraries.

This conference is for library staff, volunteers, library members, and everyone from voluntary sector and public services with an interest in volunteering, reading, youth participation, community engagement or library services.

The day costs just £50 per delegate including a free copy of the project evaluation. Click here to download a booking form.
