Our mission is to try to recruit 12,000 other young people across the country to take part in community projects.

Each "agent" is based at locations across the country and what's more, the campaign is supporting my volunteering by helping with accommodation and giving me a small weekly living allowance.

Being an Agents4Change volunteer has given me excellent first-hand experience in project management, PR and marketing, which, hopefully, will impress any future employer.

The campaign, run by CSV and supported by Tesco and the youth volunteering charity v, is now looking for more young volunteers and I would recommend any young person keen to make a lasting difference and have a lot of fun along the way, to apply straight away.

To find out more about becoming an agent or other full-time volunteer opportunities at CSV, visit www.csv.org.uk or call 0800 374 991.
