Volunteer Roles
At City Family, we encourage the community to become active volunteers within our projects. The volunteering programme invites people with a diversity of experiences to offer their time, knowledge, skills and experience to benefit the community but to also offer a rewarding experience to those who volunteer.
We know that volunteers can have a positive impact on families, whether its mental health, wellbeing or confidence or to help them access what their community has to offer. However, it can also provide volunteers with similar benefits and the opportunities to develop knowledge and skills, pursue education and employment motivations, as well as being able to give something back to the community.
