Back to School ! 🎒📚 ✏️

As young people across Kilkenny have already started a new school year, maybe it’s time for a new adventure for you too! 😊

And if you were packing your own volunteering schoolbag, what would you bring? 🎒

🎨 Creativity
🔨 Practical skills
⚽ A love of sport
👂 A listening ear
💡 Life experience
😄 A good sense of humour

You might be surprised by just how much you already have to share with the next generation! 🌱

There are plenty of ways to put those skills to good use! 🙌 From becoming a President’s Award Leader 🏆 or Scout Leader ⚜️, to sharing your hobbies, skills and amazing life experience with young people.

You don't have to be an expert – enthusiasm, encouragement and a good sense of fun are exactly what’s needed! 🙌😊

If working with young people sounds like something you’d enjoy, register with Kilkenny Volunteer Centre and come in for a chat☕. We’ll help you explore opportunities that suit you.

🎒 New school year. 🌱 New opportunities.
💜 Maybe a new volunteering adventure for you!
