NYAS is a charity which supports children, young people
and vulnerable adults by helping them to be heard, through the provision of
confidential and independent advice, information and representation.
Volunteers aged 16-25 are needed to be Peer
Advocates.
NYAS believe Peer Advocates who have experienced similar
issues as other young people can be very good advocates. For this reason, these
volunteers are required to have experienced being in care or to have used NYAS
services.
In this role a young person supports other young people
to explore issues they want stopped, started or changed. The work will involve representing young
people with assistance from NYAS staff.
In addition to this volunteers will be given the
opportunity of having a placement in a setting where they can provide advocacy
and support.
Accredited training and continuous support will be
provided.
