Adding That Much More: Researching Nacro Volunteers

 

by Penny Frasier and Louisa Watkins, NACRO, 2004

 


 

Summary:

 

This report summarizes findings from a survey of volunteers involved in England’s Nacro youth agency, a nonprofit specializing in at-risk youth and crime reduction. It offers valuable insights and examples for engaging youth themselves, and ex-offenders, as valuable volunteers.

 

Why does FASTEN recommend this resource?

 

Kids in programs often respond best to volunteers they can relate to, or have respect for. When FBOs can effectively utilize other youth, or adults who made wrong choices early on but have turned their lives around, the impact can be positive. But some organizations worry about using youth and ex-offenders; this booklet provides practical examples of programs that have made this approach work.
