source of volunteers • in order to better understand how they work
and how to better engage with them VQ looked at how youth led youth organisations run and what strategies they use to engage and lead other young people

identified as “youth led” from various sectors including social justice, arts, science, public policy and community services sectors

often very different from other sectors• rural communities have high levels of youth
engaged in volunteering and leadership in the cultural sector
