Are you a Youth, aged 12-18; maybe about to start Duke of Edinburgh, and need some volunteering to fill one of the sections?
Welcome to West Midlands Active Youths, we are a Youth Care Organisation with multiple partners and MTB aspects.
What do we do?
We do:
- Mountain Biking Sites Management
- Mountain Biking Instructor Courses
- Adventurous Training Activities
- Youth Care
- Youth Clubs
Site Management - In more detail:
What do we mean by site management? Well, as a partner with several sites where MTB or Mountain Biking Trails already are - we have asked to take a management or ownership of that area and to make the space larger and better for others.
Our Youth Leaders, hopefully to be yourselves, are a core part of our team.
Adventure Training Activities - In more detail:
We occasionally take youths on a trip to local University of Worcester sites, as part of the school holidays or Pioneer Centres to allow the Youths to take part in travelling on a zipline, to creating a raft, and others.
Activities are dependent on location, staff ability and funding.
Youth Care Services - In more detail:
In terms of Youth Care, we - as a Youth Association - create safe spaces for children and even help them in vulnerable situations.
Scenarios of our help would be:
- When needing help physically to get back into shape
- Finding friends
- Adjusting to new schools
- Mental Health Issues
- Early Intervention (5yr+)
- Learning about opportunities ahead of them
Becoming a Youth Leader
We have covered what we do, and how we can help you, but we have not covered what exactly you would do.
As a Youth Leader, which is ages 12-18, you would be allowed to help out at Youth Clubs, help in site management and similar tasks. And, you will have regular offers to help out in Adventure Training Days.
A Youth Leader is volunteering, so you are not paid unlike our permanent staff.
