Children & Young People's Volunteer

with SELFA

SELFA is a charity that supports children and families experiencing vulnerabilities to build resilience, thrive and achieve.

A Children & Young People’s Volunteer helps the Activity Coordinators with activities that are specifically run for disadvantaged, disabled or vulnerable children and young people.

SELFA are always looking for special individuals who can dedicate some of their free time to support the children and young people at our activities. From reading stories to welcoming the children and playing Lego to washing up – every day at SELFA is different and there’s always plenty to keep you busy.

We like volunteers to get as involved as possible to help provide a positive experience for the children and young people when they are with us. Volunteering regularly and directly with the children and young people allows you to build positive relationships. You will receive constant smiles and kindness from the children which is very rewarding and makes volunteering your time worthwhile.

Our provision runs after school and in the evenings in term-time and throughout the day in school holidays. We also run various activities over the weekend.
