Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are a big part of making The Rock a success, without people giving tirelessly their time and energy to the things we do The Rock would not be able to run. If you would like to consider joining The Rock team please see below the groups and opportunities available;
Day Times
Our daytime work (Monday – Friday) is with a number of difference agencies and education providers, who work with young people aged 9 upwards. This work includes a range of activities from sports, art and crafts to media workshops. All of our volunteers are a big part of supporting each tailored project. A typical day is split into two sessions, starting from 09:00 and running to 14:30.
Monday Evening
Space 51 is for young people in school years 8 - 13, who are making tough decisions with their G.C.S.E choices and future plans. The evening is shaped and created by the young people. Activities could include music, cookery, drama, dancing, film nights, console games, sports and much more.
Sessions run from 7 pm-8.30 pm
Tuesday Evening
Tuesday Night Transition (TNT) is for young people (school years 5-7) preparing to leave Primary School and settle into Secondary School life. There is a different theme each term, giving the group an opportunity to try lots of different skills throughout the year: Theme's / Focus's include: Creative, Team Challenges, Olympics & more.
Sessions run from 6 pm-7.30 pm
Wednesday Evening
On a Wednesday evening, we have our Archery club for school years 6-11, offering the opportunity to learn new skills with our qualified Archery coaches. There is also our usual space and support for youth workers for those who don't necessarily always want to be on the Range.
Sessions run from 6 pm-7:30 pm.
Thursday Evening
Scoot & Skate (SAS) is our indoor skate park for young people to give scooting & skating a go in a safe environment. It's open to all abilities and provides a positive and encouraging environment for young people to push and improve their skills. There is also our usual space and support for youth workers for those who don't necessarily always want to be on the skate park.
Sessions run from 6 pm – 7:30 pm
Activate Holiday Project
During the summer holidays, The Rock runs its holiday summer project, for young people for school years 5+; offering young people opportunities to try a variety of activities including, multi-sports, cooking, Art, mountain biking and day trips. We are looking for volunteers who can support these sessions. If you enjoy active sports, love to bake or are creative then this could be for you!
