The volunteer programme is significant to the Centres as it works with professionals, corporate sponsors and people of the community to ensure that we develop a network of developmental support for our programmes and activities. It is essential that our young people meet and interact with people who will be positive influences in their life; encourage them and participate in their learning and growth. It is important that we work with others who support our mission and who would serve as guides and teachers for our young people.

Programme Objectives

• To advance educational and development programmes and projects at the Centre
• To provide support for present development programmes and activities
• To support residents in goal setting and achievement of positive results personally, at work, school and in extra-curricular pursuits
• To encourage interest and learning in areas of sports, literature, social issues and cultural activities
• To encourage social interaction

Recognising the importance of ensuring the safety of our young people, all volunteers to our programme need to provide references. They will be interviewed and appropriate background checks conducted. Orientation and training sessions may also be employed during the introduction of volunteers to the residents. You can also ask about the mentorship programme at each of our Centres.
