The Ayr Ark is open to young people on Friday evenings from 6:30pm till 9:00pm. Volunteers are required to help from 6:00pm till 9:15pm, this will involve both set up and closing procedures.
Some of the responsibilities include, handling money and use of our till, serving drinks and snacks at the bar, engaging with young people through conversation and/or games, and being a role model to our young people.
