There are many organisations that would welcome young people giving up some of their spare time in order to help other people in a caring role, or learning about a job they have an interest in; for many of our students this could be a very worthwhile and rewarding thing to do.  These types of activity can also support students applications to University, College or into part-time work when employers can see time has been spent working for others and passion for work has been demonstrated, they will be able to see that a student is committed to this type of work and may already show an aptitude for the work being carried out.
