The East Riding Voluntary Action Services team (ERVAS) is looking for friendly, enthusiastic and out-going volunteers to be a part of ‘an exciting new youth club in Bridlington’.
The organisation, which operates from the Community Hub on Marshall Avenue, is hoping the new volunteers will help to raise young people’s aspirations, support their social and life skills development and improve their self-esteem and confidence.
Volunteers will assist young people to meet/engage in positive activities and work with partners to encourage and support young people to be involved in their community and make it a place they want to live and be proud of.
