An exciting opportunity has arisen to volunteer at Action for Children, Inverness.
An exciting opportunity has arisen to volunteer at Action for Children, Inverness.
We run a needs led volunteer mentoring service for young people aged 8-14 who are subject to home supervision. We know that these young people are often vulnerable, socially isolated or at risk of offending.
The main aims for the service are:
· Improve attainment levels for young people
· Enhance positive relationships within the family and wider community
· Support children to have increased levels of self-esteem and resilience
· Support Children to explore and engage in personal hobbies/interests
If you are you looking for a rewarding and challenging volunteering opportunity and can spare a few hours a week this may be for you. All we ask is that you:
· Are you able to be an active member of a child’s life
· Are you a good listener
· Will you act in the best interests of the child
· Can you commit to 12 Months? Our Children and Young people need stability.
If you are interested in getting involved, or would like more information then please contact me on the details below:

We offer initial training which will hopefully build on your the skills and confidence to work with these young people. Regular training and supervision sessions continue once a match has been made and an opportunity to develop your skills with working with young people and families.
