Volunteering Programme
Are you interested in new experiences and challenges? Or maybe a career in teaching, childcare or recreation? Do you have a love of children and enjoy being in a leadership role?
The YMCA is looking for young people 16 and over to become Day Programme Leaders on our school holiday programmes. As a YMCA youth leader you will work alongside other youth leaders and be responsible for a small group of children, having fun and keeping them safe.
Working on a holiday programme is a fantastic way to develop leadership skills and gain experience working with people. Holiday programmes are a huge amount of fun and a valuable way to give back to the community and gain invaluable skills.
You'll have the chance to:
- Make new friends and become part of an awesome team
- Develop you leadership skills with free leadership training
- Increase your self confidence
- Take part in regular social and adventure based activities
- Try new and exciting challenges
- Get all expenses paid trips to choice destinations
- Get a YMCA reference for your CV
- Have lots of fun!
As a volunteer leader you will work as part of a team, alongside an experienced supervisor to run the programme. You can expect to get involved with the kids, manage your group and the behaviours, role model a positive attitude and have a great experience.
What past volunteers have had to say:
"Great, would do it again instantly"
"Enjoyable, really fun, a good way to spend the holidays"
"I had a great time and was an awesome learning experience on how to handle kids"
