Volunteers will get to be part of a team supporting young people. You will meet new people, learn new skills or share your skills and experiences with others and have fun doing so. Our volunteers can enjoy a hot meal and drink while on session and access training through Legacy Youth Zone such as Youth Work, Advanced Safeguarding or CPD. Volunteers are invited to regular social and appreciation events and are recognised for their support in our team and the community. Volunteering at Legacy is an opportunity to be part of the bigger picture but to also join an award winning youth provision that is providing thousands of young people access to a broad range of activities, enabling them to discover talents and skills they otherwise might not have known they had. This helps young people, some from disadvantaged backgrounds, channel their energy in positive and productive ways whilst making friends and learning new skills. Join us if you are passionate about young people and want to make a positive impact in a young persons life, and break negative cycles.
Thursday after-school for a maximum of 4 hours between 4.00pm-8.00pm. We ask for a term-time commitment to provide consistency
