Why do it?
Lots of reasons..
Meeting new people and doing something positive in your spare time
A chance to find out if you are suited to a type of work
Taking a year out before going on to university
Making a difference - you might have a strong commitment to a special cause - like environmental issues, conservation or helping people
Getting valuable work experience needed for some types of careers - like teaching, veterinary science, medicine, police force, health care occupations etc
