Young Person Volunteer
Pathhead and District Community Association are looking for an enthusiastic young person to join them.
Post description
It is expected that the successful volunteer will contribute three to four hours a month, by attending our once a month meetings and taking part in various projects we are involved in.
​
We aim to support the candidate so they gain an understanding and become involved in various aspects of the PDCA, such as IT, DIY financial management and basic organisational skills.
​
It is hoped we can provide an opportunity to meet various people we work with outwith the PDCA, such as group leaders, councillors, etc
We are sure this experience will be beneficial to the candidate’s future CV and we will be happy to give references when appropriate.
Most importantly though, we look forward to you bringing your youthful experience to the team.
