Youth Befriender (East Lothian)

Volunteer Centre East Lothian
VO74372

OUR YOUTH BEFRIENDING SERVICE IS DELIVERED THROUGHOUT EAST LOTHIAN TO YOUNG PEOPLE AGED 8 TO 16 YEARS.

We aim to have lots of fun and choice in activities while fostering a culture of healthy self-respect, positivity, increased self-confidence, and motivation. We hope to bring positivity and nurture to young people that are experiencing very difficult and challenging lifestyles.

Experience required

We are looking for trustworthy, caring and reliable adults with good communication skills to be positive role models for local young people. A background in working with children or in young or community work would be helpful but is not essential.

Travel details

We will match you with a young person within easy access to you, whether you drive, travel on foot or use public transport. Travel expenses are covered by the project.
