Volunteering Opportunities

Volunteers are a highly valued part of y.e.s. and all contribute positively to the future of vulnerable young people in our local area. Volunteers are supported by the whole staffing team, but also have direct support from our volunteer coordinator. Along with day to day support in their roles, volunteers are also offered training and reimbursement of all reasonable travel expenses. A DBS certificate will be arranged by y.e.s. at no cost to the volunteer.

If you would like to use your skills, gain new ones and give up your time to help us help young people, please click the links below to view the various ways you might be able to get involved:

  • Young People’s Support Assistant
  • Go Green Mentor

Any professional or personal experience you already have in these areas would be useful; however it is more important that you have life experience, a willingness to learn, and a desire to help.

“If you need help, the answer is y.e.s. – supporting young people.”
