About Opportunity
UAYSG is a charity providing Youth Work in Upper Annandale in partnership with Dumfries & Galloway Council. We currently provide two youth work nights, one afternoon Drop-In, trips and activities. There is an average weekly attendance of 50 young people. Volunteers support the paid staff. We also have a branch of the Youth Project in Beattock which is held once a week in the village hall. This is run entirely by volunteers and has approximately 30 attending. Volunteers can be involved in a variety of ways. We would like to begin a Music Project with the over 14's, giving them a chance to write their own songs but we need a musician who has expertise in music software. We need volunteers to support Youth Workers providing issue based and themed Youth Club nights. All prospective volunteers would undergo CRBS checks for a Disclosure and would be supervised.

About Upper Annandale Youth Support Group
Our group has after school drop-ins 5 nights a week and 3 youth club nights as well as trips. We aim to give young people a safe and secure environment to enjoy themselves and socialise with others. We have a healthy lifestyle policy which involves visitors to the building as well as trips out. A volunteer would require a disclosure and would always be on duty about 2 hours with a youth worker. This work is not always easy but can be very rewarding.
Skills & Experience
A positive attitude to young people is required and experience can be learned.
Travel Details
Volunteers could work at either The Youth Centre at 35 Well Street, Moffat or Beattock Village Hall. Transport would have to be discussed as the bus service from Dumfries is not good.
