Networking through communities of interest

As part of the NCVYS network, staff and volunteers of member organisations can sign up to communities of interest that represent the diverse work of all NCVYS members. They can sign up to as many communities of interest as they like and at any time.

The communities of interest that currently exist are:

• Infrastructure development

• Work with young people from Black and minority ethnic backgrounds

• Work on active citizenship or volunteering

• Work with disabled young people

• Work specialising with disaffected young people

• Sport and physical activity

• Social enterprise

• Faith-based youth work

• Young people’s participation and children’s rights issues

• Cultural, creative and arts work

• Environmental youth work

As a member of a community of interest individuals may:

• receive targeted information on topics relevant to that interest group;

• act as a body of individuals with specific interests and skills with whom NCVYS may consult with from time to time;

• act as a virtual network that can discuss and share ideas and good practice;

• come together to discuss issues relevant to a particular interest group.

To get involved in these communities of interest, please contact the Membership Team on T: 020 7278 1041 or email Steven Pryse, Head of Membership Engagement.
