Youth Volunteer

We run a range of informal education activities for children and young people at the Farm. Volunteers (aged 18+) support the Youth Team by getting hands on and creating fun, interesting and educational sessions.

The ‘Youth Volunteer’ role provides a great opportunity for anyone looking to gain experience in outdoor education and to give back to their community. Experience with animals, gardening, cooking or crafts is useful, but FAR more important is a person who is enthusiastic, patient and supportive to our young people.
