Barnsley Youth Service offers a great range of volunteering / involvement projects for young people.

If you want to volunteer to help out in the community, take part in exciting projects and gain nationally recognised Awards, the Millennium Volunteers Project or the Duke of Edinburgh's Award may be for you.

If you want to influence what happens where you are then find out about Barnsley's Youth Council! You could become a Youth Councillor or get involved in the projects run by Youth Participation workers (Voice and Influence work).

Eligibility

Barnsley Youth Council and other youth participation work are open to Barnsley young people 13 - 19 years.

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is for young people 14 - 25 years.

The Millennium Volunteers project works with young people 14 - 24 years.

Procedure

Many projects run 'as and when' so contact them directly if you want to find out more about the work that they do. All the projects will register young people into their schemes once those young people know what they want to do and trained youth workers will guide you through.
