Share this Volunteering Opportunity
Over a decade of youth clubs in Haslemere. Previously known as 'A Place To Be Youth Group', Haslemere Youth Project is a registered charity supporting ages 10-16 in Haslemere. We are a welcoming space dedicated to supporting and empowering young people. Our mission is to provide a supportive environment where secondary school students can connect, learn, grow and have fun.
Our team is passionate about fostering mental health awareness, offering a range of activities and workshops that promote life skills and personal development. We believe in the potential of every young person and strive to create a community where they feel valued and understood. Due to high demand for their services and low volunteer numbers, sessions are currently limited to 35-40 young people. If a child has not pre-booked, they will only be able to come as a 'walk in' if there are spaces available.
There are a number of opportunities to volunteer at Haslemere Youth Project. No experience is required as those without any prior experience will be put with an experienced member of the Youth Club team. Volunteers are needed to help run the Haslemere Youth Project's tuck shop, to play sports with the young people as well as to get creative with their arts and crafts activities. Volunteers are also welcome just to be a friendly ear and face, and to chill with the young people in a quiet space. Whatever your preference, Haslemere Youth Project would love to hear from you. Volunteers need to be available between 6.30 and 9.15 on a Friday evening. But it's not necessary to commit to every Friday. If you can only volunteer for one Friday each term, that is welcomed too! What we can promise is that your volunteering experience will be a hugely rewarding one. Allowing children to thrive, witnessing their enthusiasm and giving them the opportunity to 'just be' can be hugely enjoyable for volunteers to experience. Volunteers must be aged 16 and over.

In addition, do you have a skill you’d love to share with young people?
Haslemere Youth Project is looking for people who would be interested in running 1–2 hour sessions for their young people. This could be a one-off workshop or something more regular.
They’re particularly interested in:
Life skills (e.g. budgeting, cooking basics, confidence, wellbeing, relationships)
Physical activities (e.g. judo, martial arts, dance, fitness, yoga)
Creative or practical skills
If this sounds like you - or if you know someone who might be interested, they’d love to hear from you.
Please note: previous DBS check preferred but not essential
