PAVO staff Mike Entwisle (Volunteering Officer), Lucy Taylor (Startwell Officer) and Louise Hardwick (County Development Officer - Digital) attended the event on 30th March to promote volunteering and participation in youth democracy in Powys. During the day they met 115 students, using an interactive participatory exercise they engaged with each individual to ascertain if they were keen to continue in education or starting a career. To provide additional interest they asked colleage tutors to wind the clock back and think how they would have chosen at the age the students were now. Most people in both groups went for continuing education.  The staff and students were keen to become part of the youth voice for South Powys as part of the Junior Startwell Board.

The PAVO staff will continue to support both volunteering enquiries and participation activities in the future.
