Jack Scott Youth Action Network Jack Scott is the Chair of Youth Action Network's Trustee Board, and at 21 years old, he is also our youngest ever Trustee!  He began volunteering with Millennium Volunteers several years ago and has continued to make remarkable achievements ever since, including joining the Samaritans at the age of 17 as their youngest listening volunteer in 50 years! Despite being in his final year of a Politics degree at the University of Sheffield, Jack still finds time to volunteer, because of the benefits it brings. He is passionate about Youth Action and what it represents... " There are more opportunities available to young people to get involved in volunteering now than ever before - the hardest thing I found was trying to decide what and who I wanted to volunteer my time for.  This took some real soul searching for me. Eventually I decided to get involved in political volunteering and since then, it seems my feet have hardly touched the ground. I chose this type of volunteering because I'm passionate about getting opinions and voices heard. Youth Action is similar to politics in this way. It provides so many opportunities for young people to get more involved and have their say at higher and higher levels, to a point where they can make real change. There is such a diverse range of opportunities available that there really is something for everyone.  My volunteering experience has had a great impact on many areas of my life and work, such as getting involved with Youth Action Network. There has never been a better time for young people to engage in volunteering. It is now, not only much easier for young people to find out about volunteering, but with Youth Action high on the government agenda, more and more organisations are now committed to focusing on priorities that young people have identified themselves.  It is great news that they are coming around to our way of thinking. Young people are the future, so it makes sense to listen to their views and hear what they have to say. After all, these are the people who can make longer-term change happen. This is what Youth Action is all about... supporting young people to put their ideas into action! We hope you find our Annual Report both interesting and exciting and feel inspired to help us achieve our vision - for all young people to have the opportunity to get involved in Youth Action and develop their own solutions to community needs..."
