Volunteering Opportunities
Young people aged 15-25 can get involved in the range of children and young people’s projects that we run throughout the year. It requires a special commitment and with it comes exceptional reward.
We offer a wide range of exciting volunteering opportunities throughout the Children and Youth Teams, supporting many projects, programmes, clubs and centres. These include our youth centres, S-Team, Education, Advice (Connexions) , Youth Inclusion, Special Needs, Pre and After school clubs, Care schemes and Public Events.
Our v programme, “Agents for Change”, offers Full time, Part time or Short term opportunities with access to free Children and Youth work training.

Our volunteers
Anyone with time on their hands as I did would do well to come here and gain some valuable experience in different kinds of areas. Not only have I enhanced my admin skills, I’ve learnt how to take photos using PS Remote, used the Turbolister application and done some warehouse work. It’s also improved me as a person as I’m a lot more confident than I used to be.
