Volunteer

Volunteers make so much of what we do possible.

Have you got a heart to spend time with young people?  If you have time to offer – we have young people!

We are looking for volunteers who can be adaptable and enthusiastic and can chat with young people whilst being caring, patient and non-judgmental. There are no specific skills or qualifications you need to volunteer – it is much more about having the right attitude towards serving others through the gift of your time.

We will expect you to be reliable and to work within our policies at all times, but part of emerge valuing our volunteers is through the support and training we can offer, in the hope that volunteering with us is a development opportunity for you, as well as being safe and enjoyable.

We link each volunteer with a named member of staff, so you know where to go for advice, training and support, and we encourage regular constructive feedback for both the volunteer and emerge.

All our volunteers have the right to be treated with respect and without discrimination, to be able to say ‘no’ without feeling guilty and to have reasonable out of pocket expenses reimbursed.

Please contact us if you are interested in being part of our team as a volunteer.
