As a volunteer you will be supporting the Youth Manager and youth workers deliver engaging and varied youth sessions. You will be running fun activities, selling tuck, playing games (pool, board games and sports) Our creative activities may be more your thing, we run arts, crafts and music sessions. If you are sporty, you may want to assist with outdoor games and sport activities.

You will be there to provide a supportive caring environment which may require you to be a good listener and a role model to our young clients.

This role is a great way to give back to the local community and very rewarding.
