Youth Events Planning Volunteer – Heathfield Youth Hub
About this organisation
Heathfield Youth Hub is a free and safe space for young people aged:
11 to 19, or 10 who will be turning 11 in year 6.
to take part in fun activities, make new friends and learn new skills, such as music, cooking and more.
Sometimes young people need a place to go and something to do. We are here to support young people with whatever is on their mind.
All our clubs and activities are LGBTQ+ friendly. There are also specific LGBTQ+ sessions, as well as our Funky Teens group. We also welcome young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
We do a range of activities such as sports, arts and baking. We are due to open our new Youth Hub in the summer so now is an exciting time to begin volunteering!
