Volunteer

Volunteering at YMCA Exeter can be a transformational time of learning new skills, developing confidence and experience in new situations, and getting involved in your local community. Volunteers become part of the YMCA Exeter team either by supporting our residents, or in one of our community projects.

At YMCA Exeter, our volunteer team is an essential part of our charity and makes our high-quality service provision possible. Volunteering with us means you will be at the heart of our transformational work, inspiring young people to thrive and reach their potential.

We are continually welcoming new volunteers into our growing team in areas such as:

• Housing Support
• Lighthouse Café project
• Mentoring our residents through exam preparation
• Youth-club provision
• Community friendship groups
• Maintenance & Facilities team

Each volunteer receives full training and support as well as an enhanced volunteer DBS certificate should their role require it. Each volunteer also has the opportunity for a one to one with our Volunteer Coordinator to look at learning goals and outcomes, as well as pastoral input.

Unfortunately, we are not able to accept volunteers through the Tier 5 Visa Sponsorship Scheme.

We are recruiting a team of Fundraising Volunteers who can support with our exciting events across the city.

We are always open to the creativity of volunteers and will support you to run your own unique fundraising events too! We will provide training and resources to help you make this a reality. We would love to hear from you!

These volunteer positions would be well suited to anyone looking for experience in event organisation/fundraising, or just looking to make a difference in the lives of young people on a more flexible, creative and ad-hoc basis!

We are looking for exceptional individuals who can impart their expertise, gifts and wisdom in order that the Christian mission of YMCA Exeter continues to be realised through our daily work and ministry.

This role will involve attending evening board meetings, usually two per quarter throughout the calendar year. You will also have the opportunity to make a greater impact through joining one of our development or finance sub-committees. This role will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
