Volunteer with Amazing Futures
Volunteering can be a good way for you or your young person to grow in confidence, learn new skills, and gain work experience. It’s also a lot of fun!
Who can volunteer?
- must be aged 18+
- must be able to commit to coming to a regular group in Brighton & Hove or East Sussex
- may have special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), or may have had experiences that help them understand what it’s like to have SEND. You may also want to gain work experience in this area.
What do volunteers do?
Volunteers support young people at our groups by taking part in games and activities alongside them, listening to them, having conversations, and helping them build connections with other young people.
They also help out with the groups more generally, for example helping to set up and pack away equipment or leading an activity.
It’s rewarding, fun, and a great way to meet lots of new people and give back to your community.
How to become a volunteer
We provide an online information session to find out more about volunteering with us. After this, we provide training to help our volunteers learn how to support other young people. The training course is made up of two sessions of 1.5 hours.
We train new volunteers a few times a year. When we are looking for new volunteers to train we advertise this at our youth groups, as well as on our Amazing Futures website and social media.
If your young person is interested in volunteering, or has any questions, get in touch:
Brighton & Hove: Call Sally B on 07485 349659 or email our Brighton team
East Sussex: Call Charlie on 07494 121322 or email our East Sussex team
