Supported Volunteering Placements
This is where the third sector comes in!
The Young Person’s Guarantee is to create funded and supported volunteering placements for young people who face barriers to volunteering. These volunteering opportunities will be based within the voluntary / third sector. As part of the placement young people will be entitled to access:
– Support from partners and TSI staff to find and engage with a volunteering opportunity
– Additional support from the host organisation (for which a small grant will be paid)
– Access to training
– Specialist support (where relevant)
Argyll and Bute TSI is working with Argyll and Bute Council’s employability team to deliver the Young Person’s Guarantee Programme locally. We are currently seeking to identify both young people to take part in the programme, and host organisations who can commit to supporting a young person to volunteer.
Funded by the Scottish Government, the programme runs until March 2022.

Organisations backing the Guarantee make five pledges to help young people at this critical time:
- prepare young people for the world of work through work experience, volunteering and work-based learning opportunities
- engage with and provide opportunities to young people who face barriers to work
- create work-based learning, training and upskilling opportunities for young people
- create jobs and opportunities for young people through apprenticeships, paid internships and work experience
- create an inclusive workplace to support learning and enable young people to meet their potential
