This handbook was prepared by Clara Wille, a 2009 intern from York University, Canada with assistance from Jayamalar Samuel, the attendees of the ESEAOR Youth Forum 2009 in Singapore, young volunteers with FRHAM, and Regional Office Staff. Additional edits were made by LexiAbel, a 2010 intern from Columbia University in New York City. Also, a special thanks must be made to Lee SweeFun, Sun Paranjothy, Anna Whelan and DoortjeBraeken for providing invaluable feedback that helped shape the handbook.

The Youth Volunteer Handbook is a living document and can be updated at regular intervals as appropriate.
