Role description:
Base71 Youth Zone is an exciting new youth centre which opened in January 2026 and we’re looking for volunteers who want to help young people thrive.
As the first Youth Zone in Yorkshire, Base71 will offer a world-class, purpose-built space where young people can connect, grow, socialise, and build confidence in a safe, supportive environment. Every session will offer over 20 activities for young people aged 8–19 (or up to 25 for those with additional needs). From sports and fitness to creative arts, cooking, and employability workshops, volunteers will play a vital role in inspiring young people, developing skills, and creating positive experiences that can shape futures.
No two evenings will be the same but every session will make a difference.
