Youth Community Support Agency
VO102054

Are you passionate about supporting young people?

Youth Community Support Agency is a youth-led charity aiming to empower the BME community. We are looking to recruit a volunteer youth worker for our project 'Young People Flourish' which works specifically with young people from the age of 7 to 25. The project works with Black & Ethnic Minority young people, with a specific focus on Pollokshields & Govanhill. Young People flourish is a programme funded by the Glasgow City Council.

We would like a dedicated and passionate individual who wishes to share their skills and build the skills and confidence of our service users. Volunteers are required for one evening a week, to run a casual drop-in session.

Your main responsibilities:
• Organise and engage young people
• Encourage young people to participate and develop confidence.
• Connect and build trusting relationships with young people.

We would like the volunteer to run weekly sessions for an agreed-upon period (with the hope to extend in the foreseeable future).

As a volunteer, you will be fully supported by the Volunteer Coordinator.

YCSA requires all volunteers to be PVG certified and will provide the necessary training to work with children and vulnerable adults. Additional volunteer training and supervision will also be offered.

If you are interested please click the ‘Apply’ button below (available when logged in and registered). The coordinator will then contact you by email or phone call. If you have not heard back after 5 working days, the first step is to contact the organisation with the contact details provided. You could also check your junk/spam folder on your emails just in case the response is there. If that doesn’t work out then please feel free to contact Volunteer Glasgow on info@volunteerglasgow.org
