Eligibility

Who can volunteer.

  • Most roles are open to anyone with the time to commit — no prior experience required.
  • Roles with direct participant contact require a background check and safeguarding training.
  • You bring the energy and reliability; we provide orientation and a point of contact.
Safeguarding

What we expect.

  • All volunteers complete a short orientation covering safeguarding expectations.
  • Roles involving direct contact require a background check before assignment.
  • Any concern can be reported confidentially through YDLC's reporting channels.
Deeper involvement

Interested in mentoring?

Mentors work one-on-one with participants for the length of a programme. If a deeper, sustained role interests you, explore mentoring.
