Young Leaders Programme: Volunteering for 14-18 year olds

Free to be Kids

Young Leaders are trained volunteers between the ages of 14 and 18, who support and provide role modelling for younger children on our residential projects.

Potential young leaders are identified from children attending our "Thrive Outside" residential projects, but who have reached the maximum age limit (13) to return as children on that project in future years. Those who show leadership potential are invited to become part of our Young Leader programme the following year.


Key features:

  • Offers support & training for teenagers who have attended our therapeutic residentials to return as young volunteers.
  • Young people who were previously vulnerable themselves re-invest in helping younger children with similar difficulties.
  • Young people develop leadership and teamwork skills but also benefit personally from the recognition, inclusion and trust we invest in them.
