Are you aged 18-30? Then join this new little team! Our role will be to focus on supporting young people ages 12+ that are coming along to our regular events and activities.
It will involve supporting young people; helping them to get engaged in our offer; giving them a helping hand; inspiring them and generally being approachable and motivational. It might involve some outreach in the community to visit youth groups/schools/colleges to get them interested.
It could be weekly or monthly, up to you and it might involve Saturdays but not every Saturday. It most likely will be creative so having confidence yourself in the arts will be a bonus to the young people you might support.
We can discuss everything together and see what we can do as a team.
First meeting to chat everything through with Kyra:
Friday 5th September at 3pm for an hour or
Saturday 6th September at 1pm for an hour
