Volunteer Facilitators
Requirements
You don't need any previous experience to be a Volunteer Facilitator, as you will receive full training and ongoing support from Young TimeBank. You don’t need to be a ‘young person’ yourself either! However, you do need to be:
- committed to Young TimeBank’s youth-led approach – empowering young people and putting their ideas at the heart of our projects
- enthusiastic, creative and a good communicator
- reliable and punctual
- able to liaise with our contact teacher and, if your project requires it, local community groups or local businesses
You must also:
- keep in regular contact with Young TimeBank throughout your group's project. (This is a two-way process – we can help you overcome any challenges you face, and you can share with us any ideas or activities that have been a success with your group)
- play your part in monitoring and evaluating your group's project
In practical terms, we need you to volunteer:
- two to three hours per week (usually at the same time each week) during school hours
- for at least one school term (two to three months)
- at a school or college in any one of the following areas: London (Lambeth, Southwark, Waltham Forest and Westminster) or Manchester.
