Arts Volunteer

Description

Our children's art workshops offer young people volunteering opportunities that not only support their
applications for further education in the arts but also serve charitable purposes. Through roles such as
assisting mentors, helping with the setup of workshops, and supporting younger participants, volunteers
gain hands-on experience in teaching, leadership, and teamwork. These roles not only develop practical
skills but also foster a sense of community and social responsibility, allowing volunteers to give back to
their local area. The experiences gained demonstrate their commitment to both the arts and charitable
work, strengthening their applications for further education while contributing to meaningful causes.

Professional Volunteer
  • Sported (Midlothian)
Representation matters, which is why we want our volunteers to reflect the diversity of the community groups we work with. We’re actively encouraging applicants from ethnically diverse backgrounds to apply as we are currently under-represented in this space. You will meet the inspirational faces of community groups across the UK and immerse yourself in their work; use your existing skills whilst developing new ones; guide members to become more inclusive; network with like-minded individuals helping grassroots clubs. You'll use your professional skills to help groups overcome operational challenges, become better equipped for the future, and tackle inequality in sport. Our roles are quite flexible and work around your schedule. We only share opportunities we think are relevant to you. With most of our volunteering support being delivered digitally, it’s even easier to get started supporting members across our network, to help sports groups survive; and so much more.
