Volunteer with Denbighshire Youth Service

Volunteer with Denbighshire Youth Service.

We have various opportunities to volunteer across our projects throughout Denbighshire. Volunteers are able to access free training and support to develop their skills and knowledge of working with young people.

Volunteering doesn’t have to be a big commitment, but having volunteers to support our sessions for as little as three hours per week helps us to ensure that we can provide youth work sessions across the county, that young people can come along too and participate in.

Volunteer placements often lead to paid work or help support participants in accessing courses or employment within related fields.

We welcome volunteers for Denbighshire Youth Service aged 18 and over and all we ask is that you have an interest in working with young people.
