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 18-30
- must live either in Brighton & Hove or in 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 and empowering them to come up with solutions that work for them
They also help out with the groups more generally, for example helping to set up and pack away equipment.
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 training to help our volunteers learn how to support other young people. The training course usually takes around four weeks of weekly sessions. At the end they will get a certificate, plus an Amazing Futures t-shirt and hoodie.
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 news page and social media. Our next volunteer training is expected to take place in spring 2026.
If your young person is interested in volunteering, or has any questions, get in touch:
