Millennium Volunteers (MVs) are young people who give up their free time to help their local communities. You might find them coaching a school football team, working at a community radio station or helping create a garden for local residents. MV allows young people to build on their interests, to develop themselves and make a difference to their community at the same time.
After 100 hours of volunteering, MVs will be presented with an Award signed by the Minister for Skills and Vocational Education. However the ultimate aim is to reach the 200 hours target, when MVs will receive an Award of Excellence signed by the Secretary of State. Over 40,000 MVs have received an Award of Excellence so far!

It's about getting recognition for existing volunteering or coming up with your own ideas. It's about celebrating all the good that comes from volunteering and getting a nationally recognised certificate. So get an MV for your CV.
