Many charities rely on the generous time and effort of those who volunteer to help. Volunteers help charities to achieve their goals and ensure precious funds that are donated go towards much-needed resources. If you’re looking for volunteer opportunities to help children there are a variety of ways you can help make a difference. Below are the volunteer opportunities working with children that we offer and other ways you can support our charity if you’re unable to volunteer.
Every child deserves a bright future. For over 100 years we have been championing children’s rights working towards reaching as many children as we can so they can not only survive, but thrive. Every year we help millions of children and their families in 117 countries across the globe, working hard to ensure every child lives, learns and is safe from harm. We do this through our evidence-based programs that focus on the health & well-being of children and emergency relief support when disasters strike. Here is how you can make a positive difference in the world through volunteer opportunities to help children and the volunteer opportunities we have available.
How volunteer opportunities working with children can make a real difference
The work that volunteers deliver is essential in enabling charities to fulfil their cause and provide aid & support. Volunteers can bring in a wider skill set, bring in new insights and broader experience. Volunteers also form part of a charity’s community and support network.
And, there are many benefits for volunteers too. Taking up volunteer opportunities to help children gives you a chance to learn new skills and make new friends - all while helping to improve the lives of children.
