YOUNG LEADERS

Being a Young Leader is an exciting opportunity to have fun and gain new skills. They play a key role in supporting our Junior and Holiday Clubs working with children between the ages of 8 and 12 years old.

Inspire Young Leaders develop skills such as communication, organisation, leadership and teamwork as well as gain confidence and meet new people.

To become a young leader, you need to be a member of Inspire Youth Zone and aged between 14 – 18

As a young leader you will commit to attending all the training sessions and then volunteer on our junior and holiday club sessions for a minimum of 60 hours.
