Volunteering

Youth Groups

​

We offer a great opportunity to volunteer in youth work with children or young adults who are autistic without a Learning Disability. Our youth groups provide a relaxed space for young people to chillout, socialise, play, chat, and make friends.

​

Activities include board / card games, video gaming, arts & crafts, sports games, or just chilling and chatting.

We are looking for volunteers to assist with socialising, games, and trips out. No experience is necessary.

 

Our requirements are:

• A minimum commitment of one year (or one academic year if relevant). 

• Understanding of autism or willing to learn ‘on the job’.

• Able to initiate, encourage, and support socialising and play.

• Able to work with a small group of young people.

• Able to use initiative, and work without close support or direction.

• Have a responsible and mature manner.

• Reliably attend when expected. You can choose how often you attend – most volunteers commit to weekly attendance but on occasions when they can’t attend they let us know in advance; others attend on set times e.g. alternate weeks.

• Patience. 

• A sense of fun.
