YOUTHplace

Youth offices and community spaces

We run youth offices and community spaces in five towns, which are meeting points for young people, communities and civil organisations. We give space to communities, programmes, initiatives and new ideas. Our offices work at once as community spaces, programme venues and information points, where we try to offer every young person support, opportunities and an open, welcoming community.

Our offices regularly host our own youth programmes, but we also give young people and youth communities the opportunity to hold their own events with us.

Volunteer programmes

Would you like to try yourself out in new situations, gain useful experience, meet new people, and do something for a really good cause at the same time? Through volunteering you can gain skills, experiences and relationships that you can't necessarily get in the classroom. You can grow, become more independent and confident while helping others, building community, and perhaps even finding new directions for your own future.

Occasional volunteer programmes

Join our current volunteer programmes at our civil partners and gain real experiences! Our volunteers regularly take part in supporting programmes for children and young people with hearing impairments, community occasions in a care home for older people, dog walking at an animal shelter, and running children's programmes and community events. Everyone can find the opportunity that suits them best.

With us you can not only complete your compulsory university placement: you can also join our internship programme on a voluntary basis. In that case you join one or more specific staff roles, gaining experience in them! In every case we tailor the specific activity individually and to the association's current possibilities!
