Children's Residential Project Group Leader
Free to be Kids
Free to Be run adventurous, nature based residentials for vulnerable young people.
As a residential Group Leader, you’ll stay on-site for 1 week, and gain invaluable experience working with a dynamic range of truly incredible children to help them have a break and a chance to get continual positive adult support. Alongside at least one other volunteer, you will help foster the empowerment of young people from a variety of underprivileged backgrounds, showcasing their individual spirits through inclusivity and togetherness. You’ll be there to help them to discover how brilliant they are; showing them kindness, and teaching them to be proud of themselves.

Managing People
We welcome volunteers from all walks of life, regardless of their previous experience working with young people. No special skillset is required; we recognise the value of a team consisting of different personalities and strengths. If you are an empathetic, patient and adaptable person you will fare well on our projects. Please note that we can only accept volunteers aged 18 or over. We especially encourage applications from those who represent the lived experiences of our children through their own lived experience or background.
You will get the opportunity to work with some brilliant young people and make a tangible difference in their lives, whilst also working alongside incredible likeminded people! You will have the support of experienced volunteers and staff, who will check in with you daily to assess your current wellbeing on the project. You will also have access to a more in-depth discussion at the end of the week to reflect on your strengths and areas for improvement whilst volunteering with us. As well as all of that we will provide training in safeguarding, with other training opportunities also available.
We ask that you commit to volunteering for a 7-day residential programme, where you will stay on site for the duration.
