IV . Participation in fundraising training/conferences/articles

Young people and youth volunteers do not have enough training or information to carry out these campaigns. How can we help them?

How to promote learning moments within organizations in order to empower young people to achieve better results in the fundraising process?

How important is training young people in improving their fundraising skills?

Any organisation of a fundraising campaign involves a level of expertise, which can range from the most basic to the most complex, depending on the level of specificity of the campaigns.

It is important that young people become familiar with terms of economic and financial language so that the results achieved can be beneficial for all (associations and donors). The better knowledge they have, the better the results achieved will be. For this purpose, the youth association can call on the support of other organisations that support youth associations, or it can call on volunteers or members of the organisation itself with experience and knowledge in the economic field, who can devote time to training their young people. The empowerment and capacity building of young people and young volunteers is the main goal.
