Volunteering

 KYS actively promotes active 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.
 

The organisation needs the participation of volunteers in order to maintain the high standard and level of service we provide across County Kildare.
