Greenbelt Youth Worker Team - volunteers needed.




GB13 SAT SM Audience SAT02 by Stefan Metzler

Youth

The Greenbelt youth programme provides young people (primarily 11-17) with a space to meet other young people, be themselves and experience some exclusive programming. Although 11-17 is our priority audience, we do also welcome young people from the upper age group (18-21).
The youth programme is not just a stream of targeted content; it is also a jumping off point and place from which volunteers can encourage young people to engage with wider festival content and programming.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Here are some of the skills we are looking for in all youth team members:
- experience working or volunteering with young people as a youth leader/youthworker/session leader/facilitator/teacher (or looking to develop these skills)
- happy as part of a team but able to use initiative
- confident to engage young people in conversation
- keen to get involved and help as required
- able to act as a role model for young people
_____________________________________________________________________________
You will be expected to volunteer two shifts of 3.5 hours per day, in the Youth Area/Venue. You will be assigned to a sub-team with a variety of duties and responsibilities to be completed across the shift.
All Youth Team volunteers need to attend a training session on basic youth work issues and child protection on Thursday 21st August. You must be able to arrive at Greenbelt in time for this session.
The whole team will be needed to stay until late Monday evening (for venue clear up and evaluation) so we suggest that you stay until Tuesday 26th August.
Once you have been accepted onto the team, we will be in touch with you again with more details in mid June.
There are a number of opportunities within the youth team to take additional responsibility. As some of the roles are limited, please indicate in your application whether you would be willing to take on another responsibility or be part of the general Youth team.
