Youth Club Volunteer
The Maypole Project
Helping young people with complex medical needs build confidence and life skills.
Our Youth Club helps young people with complex medical needs and/or special educational needs to build confidence and develop independence and life skills. The Youth Club volunteer will help the Activity Leads deliver our youth club for these young people and their siblings. What will you do? • Assist with various sports and leisure activities (e.g. table tennis, bowling, climbing), supporting the young people attending the club to participate • Work with young people 1:1 or in small groups • Set up and clear away at the beginning and end of sessions • Participate in a briefing/de-briefing
