Detailed description

Can You be a Volunteer?

Phoenix Youth Provision (PYP) seeks Volunteers. Join our team of passionate Volunteers. We aim to build good Youth Provision in Whittlesey and the surrounding areas. We work with young people 11-18 years, in youth support work and outreach. It’s an excellent time to join us and empower young people in our expanding area.

The Phoenix Business Plan sets out our vision for the future of Phoenix Youth Provision.

The role of Youth Work Volunteers is broad and varied. You have skills and experience in areas that do not involve working with Young People directly. These skills are invaluable for the behind the scenes work that assists in the administration and development of PYP. This work can be completed in spare moments when you are at home.

  • Volunteers are flexible and adapt to different situations and different activities.
  • Help to plan and organise activities.
  • Motivate young people to experience new activities and learn new skills.
  • Be a cheerleader to encourage and support young people.

About Phoenix Youth Provision (PYP) CIC

Do you want to make a difference to young people in the rural Community of Whittlesey and surrounding Villages?
We aim to provide a vibrant, supportive atmosphere that caters for the needs of young people in the local area. Our clubs are located at several areas of Whittlesey and provides a safe and welcoming environment for young people to socialise, learn new skills, and have fun. The club is open to young people between the ages of 11 and 18, regardless of background or ability.

We offer a wide range of activities and programs designed to appeal to a diverse range of interests. Our team of experienced staff and volunteers work hard to create a supportive and inclusive area where everyone feels valued and respected. In addition to our regular activities, we also organise special events and outings throughout the year, such as trips to local attractions, chosen by the young people, festivals within the community and encourage local visitors to our clubs.

At our youth club, we believe that every young person deserves a chance to reach their full potential. By providing a safe and supportive space where young people can socialise, learn, and grow, we are helping to create a brighter future for our community.
