Voluntary Action South Ayrshire
- VO98275
We're looking for secondary school pupils in South Ayrshire to become Saltire Ambassadors - could this be you?
As a Saltire Ambassador, you will work in a team of young people to help local charities and causes get more young volunteers. You will also help pupils at your school learn about the Saltire Awards and the benefits of volunteering. This is a fun and exciting role which will involve:
- A commitment of 1 evening Teams meet-up per month in addition to organising in-school events and activities
- Support and training on topics such as Youth Voice, Social Media Marketing, Mental Health, and Intersectionality
- Using your own skills and creativity to encourage your peers to volunteer (pupils in previous groups have organised Christmas donations projects, planned intergenerational days, spoke in their school assemblies about volunteering, made social media content, and even hosted large events like the annual Saltire Awards Ceremony in Ayr Town Hall!)
This role is open to all secondary pupils aged 12+ in South Ayrshire who have an interest in volunteering and who would like to help us show more young people how they can make a difference in their community.
Please get in touch if you would like to know more!
