Staff Volunteering Initiatives

We know that giving something back is great for wellbeing. Volunteering is a hugely rewarding way for your colleagues to rally together and get involved in improving the lives of young people in Warrington. We offer innovative and skills-based volunteering opportunities.

Why volunteer with Warrington Youth Zone

Everything we do is about improving the lives of Young People in Warrington. You can help make a real difference to the lives of families and Young People in your local area.

All our voluntary roles are supported: We’ll give you an induction and relevant training, and you’ll always have space to raise issues. You don’t need specific skills for many of our roles. All we ask for is enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved. We’ll support your professional development with references and news about internal vacancies.

The sessions promote their independence and explore/develop their skills, interests, and aspirations.
