Youth Focus: North East's vision is to improves the lives of young people across the North East. We achieve this through developing and delivering co-produced projects covering themes of employment, mental health, loneliness, bullying etc
Our direct support to young people and communities is mainly delivered from our two centres in Gateshead and Middlesbrough compromising youth centre, outreach work and community based activities to increase wellbeing and improve community cohesion across the North East.
Multi-agencie working and youth voice is at the heart of our practice as a youth work organisation. We understand there is no ‘one catch all’ approach and that young people have to be provided with a variety of opportunities suitable to their interests, abilities and needs. We see the purpose of co-production as providing young people with the opportunity to ‘be the change’, rather than the problem whether that be on a local, regional or national level.
Our Opportunities
For this role we are looking for volunteers to work alongside our Youth Workers who run our open access youth clubs in the Middlesbrough area. In this role you can take up one or more evening a week at one of our youth clubs.
