Become a Volunteer

Volunteering at Wigan Youth Zone is a great way to get involved with your community, make a difference, enhance your skills and of course have fun along the way.

Volunteering is integral to what we do here at Wigan Youth Zone. Our fantastic bank of volunteers means that we have access to a wide range of skills, experiences and knowledge that young people can aspire to and learn from.

Our volunteers at Wigan Youth Zone must be aged 18 or over, however if you are between the ages of 14 and 17 you can become one of our Young Leaders – Click here to read more about our Young Leader Programme.

With such a wide range of opportunities to be involved with, volunteering can open up new opportunities for you as well. Whether you want to share your skills, learn new ones or challenge yourself to do something new, we have a role to suit you. You can work face to face with the young people or behind the scenes helping with administration or event planning.

As a volunteer you will undertake a full training programme to make sure you are equipped for your role, confident and feel integrated into our team. You will also have the opportunity to undertake further training. All our volunteers also undergo a DBS check at enhanced level.
