Every summer YHA hostels are over-run with teenagers for the annual DoIt4Real season – 6 weeks of camps across the UK. The holidays are open to young people aged between 10 and 19 in an array of different activities including everything from quad-biking, rock climbing and surfing to video-making, caving and abseiling. Each year YHA recruits an army of keen, energetic young people to volunteer at the camps to support the work of YHA staff. The volunteering team at YHA wanted to create a short video to help with their recruitment process, so they asked sounddelivery for help. We suggested giving some of the volunteers small cameras so they could capture what happens at camp and record short video-diaries about their experiences. This video is now being used by YHA at volunteering recruitment events and promoted online.

We were brought in to create a short film about London Youth’s work. The aim was to raise the organisation’s profile, highlight the role of youth worker training and the impact London Youth has had on young people’s lives.

We interviewed 8 young people who were taking part in the Youth Works programme – a project funded by the new youth volunteering charity V. It’s aim is to train a new generation of youth workers with a specialism in community activism. Young people who access the programme volunteer full time for 6 months in one of London Youth’s Quality Marked clubs. During this time they take their Level 1 Foundation in Youth Work, organise a community project and take part in a full programme of personal development.

This film uses content from the Youth Works interviews plus contributions from Youth Club leaders and London Youth project workers.
