VOLUNTEERING
Be Part Of Changing Our Young People's Lives
Volunteers take Blackburn and Darwen Youth Zone to the next level! We really believe in the value and power of volunteering. Our passionate volunteers generously give their time to support and make a positive difference in the lives of our young people.
Our Vision for Volunteering
Our passionate volunteers help us to empower young people in a variety of meaningful ways. From frontline fundraising, to cooking up a storm in our cooking classes; from sitting on the board of trustees, to standing in as Goalkeeper on the football pitch; from coaching in the boxing ring, to just having a meaningful conversation with a young person – our volunteers really do cover all the bases!
We really believe in the value of volunteering. Our volunteers are integral to our success and truly are part of the team. We encourage our staff and volunteers to work collaboratively to enrich the lives of the young people we serve, as best we can.
Volunteers bring a wide range of unique skills, experiences and expertise to the table. We recognise that this directly benefits Blackburn Youth Zone and strengthens us as an organisation at the forefront of first-class youth work. We couldn’t do it all without our volunteers and we wouldn’t want to either!
