In addition, young volunteers will receive training in issues relating to climate change, Health & Safety legislation, risk assessments and community development and consultation thereby providing young people with the skills and confidence they need in order to deliver activities in their local communities. We will also provide the opportunity for participants to obtain two forms of formal accreditation, the John Muir award and the Arts Award.
