Volunteering

Kildare Youth Services recognises that children, young people, their families and communities choose to engage in and participate with the services and the opportunities it provides. KYS actively promotes voluntary work and recognises the important role and valuable contribution of unpaid (voluntary) youth and adult leaders and committee members to the work of the organisation.
 

KYS is a voluntary organisation that encourages active volunteerism. The organisation needs the participation of volunteers in order to maintain the high standard and level of service we provide across County Kildare.

Kildare Youth Services provides a broad range of services with and for, children, young people, their families and communities. As a result there are always a variety of volunteering opportunities within the organisation. 

Some typical volunteering opportunities include:
  • Junior leader within a youth club or youth project
  • Adult leader within a youth club or youth project
