Playmaker
Young V&A (formerly Museum Of Childhood)
Young V&A is a museum for children, young people and families. As a Playmaker, you’ll be having fun with visitors aged 0 to 14 years. By encouraging engagement with the museum’s interactives, collections and spaces in the Play Gallery you'll be supporting them to become Playmakers too. We ask you to give time once or twice a month, or more if you want. Volunteering slots last for fours hours, with a break. They are available seven days a week, with morning and afternoon sessions available.
Young V&A is a museum where children, young people and families can imagine, play and design. As a volunteer Playmaker, you’ll be having fun with visitors aged 0 to 14 years. By encouraging engagement with the museum’s interactives, collections and spaces in the Play Gallery – you'll be supporting them to become Playmakers too. You could be demonstrating a video game interactive in The Arcade one moment, designing a marble run the next or helping visitors to come up with ideas for their own board games on the games table. No two days will be the same as a Young V&A Playmaker. Volunteering at Young V&A will give you the opportunity to inspire creative confidence in the younger generation through play, imagine and design. Designed by young people, for young people, the museum completely reimagines what a space for young visitors can be, encouraging the creative curiosity crucial for the development of future generations. Bringing your passion for supporting young people’s development and creativity, you’ll be at the forefront of making a huge impact in the local community, while also supporting the transformation of volunteering within the V&A. We ask you to give time once or twice a month, or even more if you want. Volunteering slots last for fours hours, with a break. They are available seven days a week, with morning and afternoon sessions available.
