Young volunteers
Volunteering is a fantastic way for under 18s to build new skills, boost your confidence and gain valuable experience that can help with future study or employment. It's also a chance to give something back, meet new people and make a positive difference in your local community.
The opportunities below are suitable for teenagers under the age of 18, but arrangements vary between organisations. Please check each opportunity carefully, as some may require under-16s to be accompanied by an adult or meet other specific requirements.
