Youth Leader

Opportunity Description: • Do you have the passion to help young people?
• Can you spare two hours a week?
• Develop young people within the community.
• Have fun.
• Free training.
Youth Team Volunteers teach young people, of all different backgrounds, vital and life-changing first aid skills. We have two programmes – our 5-10 year olds are called Badgers and our 10-17 year olds are called Cadets.
You'll help them build up their confidence, self-discipline and, teamwork skills, and have some fun along the way.
We're looking for Youth Helpers and Youth Leaders. You’ll start off as a Youth Helper and, if you fancy it, you'll get the opportunity to become a Youth Leader, with some additional training and experience.
