Youth Involvement
Fast Forward has a strong commitment to youth involvement. We try to ensure wherever possible to provide opportunities for young people from the Fast Forward volunteer team to take part in various aspects of our work.
This ranges from devising and developing programmes, to co-facilitation of groups, whether focused on young people, adults or professionals. |
