Get Involved with Youthplus
Young people are not only part of the communities Youthplus works with. They are leaders, partners and contributors to change. We welcome young people who want to learn, contribute their skills, take part in community action and help shape more healthy, inclusive and resilient communities.
Ways to Get Involved
Volunteer with Us
Offer your time, skills and ideas to support community initiatives and Youthplus activities. Volunteering can be a practical way to contribute, gain experience and work alongside others committed to positive change.
Become a Peer Community Advisor
Help connect young people and communities with information, opportunities and community-led initiatives. Peer Community Advisors (PCAs) help strengthen community participation, share trusted information and connect people with relevant services and support. They play an important role in Youthplus’s community-led approach.
Explore Internship Opportunities
Young people interested in gaining practical experience in community development, education, public health, communications, research or related areas may contact Youthplus to express interest in internship opportunities.
Participate in Our Programmes
Take part in relevant Youthplus activities, learning opportunities and community initiatives. Programme participation depends on the activities taking place and the communities and groups they are designed to reach.
What Guides Our Work
Youthplus believes that meaningful participation starts by listening to young people and recognising their knowledge, experiences and leadership. We create opportunities for young people to contribute to practical community solutions, strengthen their agency and bring community perspectives into wider conversations about policies and systems.
We Listen
We value young people’s experiences, ideas and priorities, and the knowledge held within communities.
We Act
We work with communities and young people to turn ideas into practical initiatives, services and collective action.
We Influence
We use evidence, partnerships and community leadership to contribute to better policies, stronger systems and more equitable outcomes.
How to Express Your Interest
If you are interested in volunteering, becoming a Peer Community Advisor, exploring an internship or participating in Youthplus programmes, contact our team. Tell us a little about yourself, where you are based, what you are interested in and how you would like to contribute or participate.
Contacting Youthplus to express interest does not guarantee a placement, internship, volunteer role or programme enrolment. Opportunities and participation arrangements depend on current activities and organisational requirements.
