Volunteer – Give more, get more
Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, make friends, improve your confidence, gain support and learn new skills.
The LANDED volunteers are a real mixed team. They are all between 16 and 22 and come from Lanarkshire. That’s about as much as we need to say about the volunteers, so if you fit into that category as well then there’s probably nothing stopping you becoming a LANDED volunteer.
“I wanted to be a youth worker and thanks to Landed I now have two jobs working with youngsters. Landed have been such a big help to me. I feel that we make people aware of the issues and it has given me the confidence to talk to other people about them.” – Danielle, age 19
“I like the banter and I feel as if I’ve achieved something at the end of every week.” – David, age 17
You’ll be asked to come along to weekly training sessions and the occasional residential – which won’t cost you a penny. You’ll increase your skills and opportunities, and the experience could help you move on to college, university or employment.
Each volunteer has a support worker from the staff team, it is their job to make sure the volunteer feels comfortable at LANDED and to support them through the different stages of the training programme. Regular one to one meetings take place with you and your support worker.
