Your ideas. Your community. Make a difference.
Want to make a difference where you live, meet new people and gain experience to support your future?
HYPE Merseyside and Vibe UK are looking for young people to join Vibrant Communities, our National Lottery funded #iwill Social Action Programme.
You’ll get the chance to help create and deliver projects that make a real difference in your community.
What is involved?
You’ll be volunteering to work on our projects, which could include improving parks and green spaces, youth facilities or community centres; environmental projects, recycling projects, art projects, developing sports spaces and community events.
But we want to hear your ideas too. What would you change where you live?
Want to take the lead?
If you’re looking for more of a challenge or to develop your leadership skills, we are also looking for Key Volunteer Co-ordinators. You’ll help shape projects, support other young people and develop skills in leadership, teamwork, communication and project planning.
You’ll also gain valuable experience for your CV, college, university or future employment, and you’ll receive priority support to apply for further HYPE social action opportunities the following year.
How does it work?
Our programme will run for 12 weeks every year April-June and July-September. Sessions take place over weekends, holiday periods and evenings. You can choose the sessions that suit you.
You’ll take part in workshops, meet other young people and then get involved in practical social action projects.
Never done anything like this before?
Don’t worry, you’ll be fully supported by the HYPE Merseyside and Vibe UK team throughout the programme. You don’t need previous volunteering experience, just enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved.
If you have any further questions, you can contact; enquiries@hype-merseyside.co.uk
Applications are now open, apply below.
Are you aged 12–18 and interested in making a positive difference in your community?
Over the next three years, HYPE will work with young people across the Liverpool City Region to develop social action projects, improve local spaces, organise community events and give young people a stronger voice. Whether you have volunteered before or just want to try something new, we would love you to get involved!
