Links 4 Youth (L4Y) has been formed in response to requests from young people aged between the ages of 11 and 15 years who want to become involved in volunteering activities before moving onto Millennium Volunteers (MV) at 16 years old. L4Y links in with the well-established MV project incorporating all its networks and principles. L4Y principles focus on: 1) listening, 2) developing, 3) facilitating, and 4) supporting.
