Youth volunteers must be aged 15-17 years old. Those aged 16/17 will be Garda vetted with parental/guardian consent. Youth volunteers selected must be available training which will take place late June. Volunteers will also receive Safeguarding 1 training.
Our Inclusive Summer Camp programme caters for children who require additional support to engage in activities, this may be because of a physical, sensory or a learning disability. The inclusive summer camps gives children a chance to take part in a fun summer camp in a supported environment.
Under the supervision of an Activity Leader, the role of the Youth Volunteer will be to encourage enjoyment, fun & plenty of smiles while providing assistance to children to ensure maximum engagement in activities. KRSP runs 4 separate Inclusive Summer Camps throughout the Summer. In the application, please indicate the camps the youth volunteer will be available for. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO VOLUNTEER FOR AS MANY CAMPS AS POSSIBLE – THE MORE VOLUNTEER TIME – THE MORE CHILDREN GET TO ENJOY THE CAMPS!
In return the youth volunteer will receive training, be supported by KRSP staff and activity leaders, and have a rewarding and fun experience with people of their own age while supporting children with additional needs to have a fun summer camp.
