About Opportunity
Youth-link was established in 1981 and offers a befriending service to young people aged 5-18 in Dundee, who it is thought will benefit from the support and friendship of a volunteer befriender. The volunteer befriender and the young person will enjoy outings and share interests together, it is also hoped that the young person will feel confident enough to discuss any problems or issues they may have. If you feel you have something to offer, have time on your hands, looking to change careers, put something back into society, or are just looking for a new challenge, then why not try volunteering with Youth-link (Dundee) IT'S FUN
