Youth Project Volunteer
Life Cycle
Could your love of cycling inspire and support young people?
We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to support our Youth Project sessions in Bristol!
About this role
As a Youth Project Volunteer, you’ll work alongside our friendly staff and playworkers at local adventure playgrounds, supporting a welcoming and inclusive environment.
You’ll get involved in a range of cycling activities, including:
- Showing young people how to look after their bikes
- Encouraging children to try cycling skills and group rides
- Helping young people explore green spaces and their local area by bike
- Joining in with games and creative activities
No two sessions are the same, but each session is a great way to make a real difference in your community while having fun alongside young people.
About the Youth Project
Our Youth Project engages young people through imaginative and inspiring cycle-related activity sessions.
Sessions run after school and during school holidays at three adventure playgrounds. We’re currently looking for support at Southmead Adventure Playground (the Ranch) and Lockleaze Adventure Playground (the Vench).
About you
We’re looking for volunteers who:
- Are warm, friendly and enjoy working with children and young people (aged 11 – 16).
- Communicate clearly and patiently with young people, parents and playground staff
- Have an interest in cycling and/or a willingness to learn basic bike repair skills
- Are able to commit to a regular weekly session (2–3 hours per week during term time)
A valid enhanced DBS check is required (or willingness to apply).
