  7. 'It is widely recognised that volunteering can provide skills and build confidence and therefore act as a stepping stone into further education, training or employment. Volunteering also helps people feel good about themselves and good about their communities, encourages networks and is especially effective at building 'soft' or 'entry level' skills such as problem solving and co-operative working.’(Consultation Document: 16+ Learning Choices: First Step Activity and Financial Support, Scottish Government ) • ‘volunteering opportunities offer young people the chance to develop confidence, motivation and skills that stay with them for life'(Skills for Scotland:  a lifelong skills strategy, Scottish Government)
