Description

The Elgin Youth Cafe is looking for 18+ aged volunteers to help with drop-in sessions, cooking, holiday programmes and other youth work activities. Most of the sessions are after school and evenings. We are looking for Youth Work Volunteers to…
• Chat to young people, getting to know them, and taking part in games and activities with them.
• Listen to young people’s ideas...and, if you would like to, share a talent of hobby that you have.
• Learn new skills, and take part in training and development provided by Elgin Youth Development Group.
• Give something back to the community. Meet other like-minded adults and have fun!

If you have a genuine interest in working with young people and could volunteer a few hours a month, please get in touch and help make a difference in our community and to the lives of our young people.
