Capacity Building of Civil Society to Strengthen Volunteerism Management and Promote Volunteerism among Youth

 The TrainVol project aims to develop an alternative mechanism promoting skills development and labour market inclusion for young people (especially those belonging to vulnerable groups) through volunteerism, following a sustainable and replicable cascading model. This key target will be accomplished by building the capacities primarily of key civil society actors (youth workers) to organize voluntary programs, effectively engage, orientate, train and manage young people who wish to participate in organized volunteering activities, and facilitate their smooth integration; and secondarily, of young people (mostly NEETs) to take up an active role in volunteerism. The project is focused on utilizing volunteerism as a key tool for promoting social inclusion, mainly for vulnerable youth (NEETS, ESL, low-skilled, socially marginalized and/or disengaged), and a way of combining civic engagement, active citizenship and social inclusion with non-formal and informal learning and capacity building.
