Volunteers

Volunteers (16 to 25)

At Yuniya CIC, our volunteers aged 16 to 25 are at the heart of everything we do. They come from diverse backgrounds. Some are young carers. Some are neurodivergent. Others are emerging creatives from marginalised communities.

They share a love of storytelling, arts and community engagement.

Volunteering with Yuniya CIC gives young people the chance to develop creative and leadership skills, access cultural and nature-based opportunities, and gain experience that builds confidence and personal growth.
