Becoming a volunteer
For the majority of roles, you don't need to have any experience, specialist skills or qualifications. The qualities we look for in our volunteers are:
- Reliability
- Ability to relate to and empathise with young people and their aspirations
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, especially listening skills
- Ability to be non-judgemental, self-aware, patient, understanding, flexible, positive and supportive in all situations
- Ability to challenge own assumptions and negativity
Anyone can be a mentor. You just need to be at ease with young people; really listen and understand them.
Young Ambassadors
Young Ambassadors inspire other young people, influence public decision-makers and engage donors and the media.
Student social work placements
