Volunteer leaders - Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme

Our success depends on our ability to attract volunteers to support the young people.

At the Cambridgeshire DofE Open Award Centre, we’re proud to help hundreds of young people every year. This year alone, we’re supporting 10 Bronze groups, 8 Silver groups, and 4 Gold groups. But the demand keeps growing and to meet it, we need more volunteers.

We’re looking for volunteers who believe in the potential of young people and are willing to give some of their time to help us help them achieve their goals.

Whether you can contribute a few hours, a day or more on a monthly basis or just one off days throughout the year, your involvement will make a huge difference in shaping the future generation.

If you’re based in Cambridgeshire and want to join a fantastic team of volunteers making a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.

We are looking for volunteers with experience in administration, website updates, social media, grant and funding applications as well as individuals with an interest in supporting and supervising groups whilst on expedition or in training.

We are just about to kit off our 2026 training season programme at the end of January, so now is an ideal time to come along and see what we do.

Additionally we are open to discussing volunteer trustee opportunities with anyone who has an interest in running the charity.

Please get in contact with us if you are interested in knowing more.
