Volunteer
Volunteers at Solent Youth Action are offered exciting and rewarding opportunities. All volunteers undertake a comprehensive training package enabling them to be fully skilled to volunteer with SYA’s Projects and groups.
Solent Youth Action empowers young people to develop as individuals, enjoy new challenges and make a positive contribution to the community through volunteering.
We are looking for enthusiastic, reliable, motivated individuals to work as part of our dynamic youth work team. We have a number of young people with additional needs who require some support to attend clubs and groups. We need volunteers for our one-to-one community Buddies Scheme. The buddy scheme offers children and young people aged 10-19 with additional support needs an opportunity to be supported by a fully trained ‘buddy’ to access activities in their community such as bowling, cinema, football and scouts. You will be required to support and engage with the young person enabling them to participate in their chosen activity.
Provided you are over 18 years of age, are patient, understanding and feel you can support a child or young person (with training) to engage in activities, we’d love to hear from you.
