Our Youth Work, engages with young people aged 16 to 25 years who are either unemployed, care experienced, refugees, asylum seekers, homeless or have experience of the youth justice system.
We aim to empower these young people and offer volunteering options to help them have experiences and develop skills and connections needed for them to achieve their full potential.
Volunteering opportunities:
Employability sessions – CV workshops, career talks, webinars, industry events and careers fairs.
Mock interviews – providing one-to-one mock interviews to unemployed young people.
Work tours – taking a group of young people around your workplace to raise aspirations, increase their awareness of the jobs available and promote your business.
Work placements – providing a two-week work placement for young people to gain experience, skills and an understanding of how to behave in the workplace.
Mentoring – taking part in one of our mentoring programmes to help a young person achieve their goals.
Life skills workshops – sessions which help young people develop skills for their wider lives, gain new interests and make friends, e.g. cooking, fitness, budgeting and social activities.
