The Power of Youth

Safeguarding the future of volunteering through embracing and supporting young people into volunteering across Medway.

The Power of Youth: Creating Change Through Social Action

Young people are not just the future—they are the changemakers of today. Across Medway, young people are stepping up, taking action, and shaping the communities they want to live in. The Power of Youth movement is about recognising and amplifying their voices, ensuring they have the opportunities and support to make real, lasting change.

Why Social Action Matters?

From tackling social inequality to addressing climate change, young people are passionate about making a difference. But for their ideas to create real impact, they need more than just a platform—they need action. The Power of Youth Charter is a commitment for organisations to actively involve and empower young people in volunteering, decision-making, and community change.

At MVA, we believe social action should be at the heart of everything we do. We don’t just support young volunteers; we work with them to shape projects, influence decisions, and drive positive change. The Power of Youth movement challenges us all to rethink how young people can lead and thrive in our communities.

How You Can Get Involved?

We are building a movement where young people aren’t just participants—they are the driving force behind solutions that matter. Whether it’s through volunteering, campaigning, or leading community projects, we want to help you turn your passion into action.
