Make a Difference – Volunteer With Us!

Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills, support your local community, and increase your confidence!

As a charity, we simply couldn’t operate without our amazing volunteers. If you have a few spare hours a week, you could join #TeamCYZ and help us make a difference in young people’s lives!

If your time is more limited, we have a calendar for one-off volunteering opportunities – click here and use the passkey 85208520 to see the calendar and learn about what support is required (this will change as and when new opportunities are identified so please keep checking back!)

Volunteers are key in all parts of our operations. Volunteers make an important contribution to our team – they can bring special skills and experience that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to access.

Volunteering isn’t just about what you can do for others though – here is just a few things that volunteering can do for you!

 

Meet New People

Volunteering with people who are as passionate about improving the opportunities for young people, as you are, is a great way to meet like-minded people.

 

Boost Your CV

Time Bank recently did a survey of some of the UK’s leading businesses and 73%* said they’d employ someone who’s volunteered over someone who hasn’t.

 

Boost Your Confidence

You’ll learn and do things that you might not normally get the chance to – this can be a real confidence boost.
