Are you thinking about volunteering, looking to make friends or developing your skills? By joining a group of young people aged 11-25 (inclusive) from across Scotland called YSHive, you can take part in our latest free training event!
This is a chance for you to develop new skills and get to know other volunteers. The training we’ll offer will vary but for a flavour of the type of thing you can expect, in the past we’ve run workshops on how to use LinkedIn, understanding AI, how to network, how to make a successful survey, comic illustration, public speaking and more!
Date: Saturday 21 November 10am – 4:30pm
Location: To be announced!
