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 on June 30th unless they were a previous volunteer with KRSP. Volunteers aged 16/17 will also receive Safeguarding 1 training with parental consent.
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 KRSP staff and Activities Leaders, 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 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.
