We are looking for a volunteer who has excellent food hygiene and cooking skills to help us feed our young people during our busy youth activities. 

Colne Youth Action Group (CYAG) provides a range of absorbing activities, led by inspirational adults to support them on their journey into adulthood. As part of our learning we discovered that food is an important element of our engagement with young people. Since we began providing meals at our universal activities, we soon realised it has become the relational anchor that sits at the heart of what we do. Our young people love to help prepare our meals and even more they love to sit with us to share food and talk about their days with us. This role is integral to the activities we provide and the relationships we build and maintain with our young people. 

We need someone who is willing to become a part of our family, working alongside us and with our young people to continue improving and growing our food provision. 

The times we are looking for volunteers to work our kitchen are: 

Mondays 6:30 - 9:00pm

Wednesdays 4pm - 6:30pm 

Wednesdays 6:30pm - 9pm
