Youth Volunteering
Make a Difference, Gain Experience, Have Fun!
Are you aged 12-24 and looking for a way to make a real impact in your community? Volunteering is an incredible opportunity to give back, develop new skills, and meet amazing people. Whether you have a few hours a week or just want to help out at one-time events, there's a volunteer role for you!
Why Volunteer?
Volunteering isn't just about helping others - it's also about personal growth and development. Here are just a few of the benefits:
- Build Your Skills - gain real-world experience in leadership, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving
- Boost Your CV & Career Prospects - employers and universities love seeing volunteer work on applications!
- Meet New People - connect with like-minded people and professionals from different backgrounds
- Improve Your Wellbeing - giving back can increase happiness, reduce stress, and boost self-confidence
- Make a Real Difference - every act of volunteering helps create a stronger, more connected community
Overcoming Barriers to Volunteering
We know that young people often juggle multiple commitments - school, work, family, sports, and more - making it challenging to engage in traditional volunteering roles. That's why we offer flexible opportunities that fit your availability, whether you're looking for longer-term commitment, a short-term project, a one-off opportunity, or event-based volunteering. Whatever your schedule, we can help find a role that works for you!
