Borderlands Volunteers

Volunteering with Borderlands is an oppourtunity to learn by doing, at your own pace, in a way that fits in with your strengths and interests.    By volunteering with us, you can develop:   Confidence and communication skills - connecting with new people, sharing ideas, and feeling comfortable in a diverse range of group settings.  Experience of community-led creative projects - understand how art and culture can be shaped with communities, rather than just being dilivered to them.  Practical skills - supporting events, workshops, and activities, from setting up welcoming spaces, to supporting participants and collecting evaluation.  Teamwork and collaboration - working alongside artists, staff, and other volunteers, and building a network of local creatives.  Insight into arts, culture, and community work - understanding how creativity can support wellbeing, inclusion, and pride in place.    You don't need to arrive with these skills, you'll be able to build them through taking part. We offer guidance, support, and space to learn in ways that feel comfortable to you.
