MAKE A DIFFERENCE…

Volunteering at Inspire Youth Zone is a way to both support your local community, enhance your skills and have a lot of fun along the way.

As we get closer to opening, Inspire Youth Zone will need to recruit a committed core of volunteers across a wide range of projects to ensure we deliver a world-class service to Chorley’s young people. Volunteering or mentoring at Inspire Youth Zone will enable you to be at the heart of a world class project that will turn around the options and opportunities for Chorley’s young people.

WHY VOLUNTEER?

Whilst you’ll want to make a real difference when you volunteer, it’s not just about what you can do for others. Here are some of the things that volunteering can do for you:

CV

GIVE YOUR CV A BOOST

Time Bank recently did a survey of some of the UK’s leading businesses and 73%* said they’d employ someone who’s volunteered over someone who hasn’t.

Meet

MEET NEW PEOPLE

You’ll probably meet people from different cultures and backgrounds that you might not normally. Volunteering with people who are as passionate about improving the opportunities for you people, as you are, is a great way to meet like-minded people.

Work

GET BACK INTO WORK

It’s a great way to get a reference and fill gaps in your work experience. You can also try out different types of work to get a taster – which can really help you if you’re looking for a job or want to change direction.

Improve

IMPROVE YOUR CONFIDENCE

You’ll learn and do things that you might not normally get the chance to – this can be a real
confidence boost.
