Volunteering
We are always looking for reliable volunteers to help run our shops.
If you feel you could offer us a few hours of your time you will become part of a supportive, flexible and friendly team, dedicated to the success of New-U.
In addition, we offer all of the young people who complete work placements with us, a volunteer mentor, who they can meet with on a regular basis following completion of a work placement.
Volunteer mentors
Volunteer mentors work with young people on a 1-2-1 basis and support them into positive outcomes such as volunteering, education, training and ultimately employment.
Mentors will be prepared to meet their mentee twice a month either face to face or virtually for up to an hour for a period of 3 months or until the relationship naturally ends due to the young person moving into a sustainable outcome. Mentors will be expected to take on 2 mentees minimum at any one time. To get the most out of the role, we hope our volunteers will stay with us for a minimum of 12 months giving the necessary time, energy and support to meeting face to face and virtually with young people, staff and other volunteers (as appropriate).
