- Volunteer**About Us**:
Central YMCA is transforming. This is an exciting time to join us as we look forward toward growth and progression and focus on our purpose to advance the education, health and wellbeing of our communities. We want to create improved access to life-changing opportunities and enable everyone to achieve their potential, live a fulfilled life and contribute positively to society.

**Our Commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion**

Our doors are open to all and if you connect with our mission, vision, and values, we welcome you to come and be part of our team.

If you require any support or reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process, please let us know and we will be happy to assist.

**About the Role**:
We are looking for volunteers who are eager to make a difference in their own community by supporting girls and young women to be their best through our award-winning Y’s Girls Mentoring project.

As a volunteer mentor you will regularly meet up with a young person offering a friendly ear, support and guidance and advice on making positive life choices. You will also build a relationship with the young person’s parents/guardians, although the main focus is the young person. Full training, support and on-going supervision is offered by Central YMCA.

**About You**:
Our mentors are as diverse as the young people we work with and we welcome opportunities to celebrate our similarities and differences.

You will be able to reflect on times where you have faced challenges in life, with which you gained essential learning and understanding. By supporting your mentee to identify small, achievable goals you will help them experience the process of persevering, achieving and celebrating and this builds their resilience and sense of worth well beyond the mentoring relationship.

**What can you expect as a volunteer at YMCA?**

In addition to the incredible satisfaction that comes from working with others, benefits to being a volunteer at Central YMCA include:

- Valuable experience, allowing you to develop your skills in a unique environment;
- The opportunity to learn from our own highly qualified and experienced professionals;
- Complimentary membership of our famous YMCA Club - the world’s very first YMCA
- The chance to meet new people and make lifelong friends.

In return, we expect that our volunteers act as ambassadors for our iconic brand and help us to create 'A World of Good'.

**Safeguarding responsibilities**
- This role will involve daily contact with learners, and you will be engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.
- All staff and volunteers have a responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children and young people, and/or vulnerable adults for whom you are responsible and with whom you come into contact.
- The Charity’s Safeguarding Policy is available from Central YMCA website.
- Regulated activity: This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Charity is therefore permitted to ask shortlisted applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) to assess their suitability to work with children. Should you be shortlisted, you will be required to complete a disclosure form prior to interview_
