Volunteers are a vital part of Go! Youth Trust. Our work with young people simply wouldn’t be possible without people who are willing to give their time, energy, and care. Whether you’re new to youth work or bringing years of experience, there’s a place for you here.
Why volunteer?
You don’t need prior experience to volunteer with GYT. Full support and any necessary training will be provided by our experienced team. What matters most is a heart for young people and a desire to see young lives thrive. Volunteering is about building relationships, creating safe spaces, and being a positive, consistent presence.
Ways to get involved
There are lots of ways to volunteer, depending on your interests, skills, and availability:
- Mentor a young person by meeting every other week to listen, encourage, and walk alongside them
- Support our weekly drop-ins by spending time with young people and helping create a welcoming environment
- Get involved in residentials, spending a weekend helping to run unforgettable trips and experiences
- Share your skills by leading a workshop in something you’re passionate about
- Help with building and renovation projects as we develop new spaces for young people
- Use your cooking skills to support food provision across our programmes and residentials
Who can volunteer?
Volunteering at GYT is flexible. Whether you’re keen to work directly with young people or prefer to support behind the scenes, we’ll work with you to find a role that fits your availability and strengths.
