Junior Volunteer Programme

The Junior Volunteer Programme is for young people aged 14 to 17 who want to volunteer with us at Krunch South West.

The Junior Volunteer Programme at Krunch South West is designed for young people aged 14 to 17 who are interested in making a positive contribution to their community while developing valuable life skills. 

The programme offers a structured and supportive environment where participants can gain hands-on experience, build confidence and form new friendships. It provides an opportunity to become actively involved in our youth clubs, while learning skills that are beneficial for education, future employment and personal development.

Through the programme, junior volunteers play an important role in supporting youth clubs and community activities. This includes assisting with the running of sessions, helping to organise and deliver activities such as sports, arts, games and workshops, and supporting younger members to feel welcome and included. Volunteers may also contribute to wider community events and attend termly workshops focused on key topics such as leadership, communication and activity planning. These experiences enable participants to take on responsibility, develop teamwork skills and explore their own interests and strengths.

Participation in the Junior Volunteer Programme is also formally recognised. Young people who complete between 15 and 50 hours of volunteering can achieve the South Gloucestershire Volunteering Award, celebrating their commitment and contribution. This recognition includes the opportunity to attend the South Gloucestershire Youth Awards Evening evening alongside other young people from across the area, highlighting their achievements and the positive impact they have made within their community.

Youth Clubs

I enjoy going to youth club as the youth workers are always up for a chat and I know they’re people I can trust.

My favourite thing to do at youth club is have time to hang out with my friends, play football and have loads of fun.

Mentoring has helped me to keep calm and gain more courage to not be so shy. It’s helped me build up confidence.

Thank you for the work you are doing in our school, it is invaluable, and the young people are really benefitting from all the work you are doing with them.

Mentoring

Thank you so much for putting on these activities through the school holidays. My kids love attending and always say how much they have done in just a few hours. It’s great for them to be outside playing with other children and building on their social skills instead of being in front of a screen. The food also looked delicious, and although my kids never usually eat that much salad, they dove straight into the salad bar you provided. Thank you for such a great provision that I can afford!

School Holiday Activities

I have learnt what respect really is and how to keep my own personal boundaries.

Real Respect

Thank you ever so much for the course. I really have learnt a lot, and because I’ve done the course I put it on Facebook and I’ve had three new families ask me to babysit which is now a regular thing! Thank you again for the experience!

Just a quick email to say thank you so much for running this great course. Lauren really enjoyed the day and found it very interesting. Lauren has been working as a babysitter for a while, but I think this course is helping her have confidence in herself and what she has been doing.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for putting on such a brilliant two day babysitting course! Sarah learnt so much and it has hopefully given her a lot of confidence to look after other people’s children. She also said that the staff were all so lovely and very helpful.
