Help young people aged 14 - 24 as they move on from school. If you can spare around half a day each month (or more if you'd like to) please get in touch for more information and a volunteer application pack.
Our One Giant Leap project aims to improve transitions for young disabled people who are moving from school and to adulthood. Working from TouchBase in Glasgow, along with Sense Scotland staff, you will work with the young people before, during and after they leave school. Using the arts and outdoors education to engage with young people, you will provide support to build confidence, self-esteem and life skills that will enable them to engage in social opportunities outside school and to sustain these friendships when they move on.
Activities include:
You will be involved in activity planning and supporting young people to access these activities, so you must enjoy having fun! We would welcome applications from all enthusiastic, energetic individuals with a desire to help support young people. Disclosure Scotland checks will apply.
Social Care Students: Depending on your level of commitment, a voluntary placement may count towards the work placement requirements of a Social Care college course. Speak to your tutor about this.
