Watch how VSO's Digital Ambassadors are using their skills to support their communities

World Youth Skills Day on July 15th recognises the importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, entrepreneurship, and personal development.

Established by the UN in 2014, World Youth Skills Day aims to build an inclusive and equitable future of work that fosters peace, global citizenship, and sustainable development.

We asked VSO's Digital Ambassadors to tell us what issues young people face in their community, what skills are required by young people to tackle them, and what their one call to action is for local government to make a change for the better. Watch this film featuring our volunteers answering these important questions.

Tell us what young people are doing to address issues in your community by using the hashtag #WeVolunteerFor on social media.
