‘They’ve Asked me to be a Youth Work Volunteer’

This booklet has been primarily written for those who have been asked to consider becoming a youth work volunteer in their local United Reformed church; it aims to give an overview of the role’s scope and core responsibilities as well as the necessary skills and abilities of post holders.

Disclaimer: The information herein applies equally to all youth work volunteers, including those working with Pilots and the uniformed organisations such as Guides, Scouts, Boys’ Brigade and Girls’ Brigade – but these latter groups will provide their volunteers with specific training and guidance.
