Volunteer with us
Volunteers play a vital role in helping us work towards our ambition for every child in Scotland to be safe, loved and well with their family.
By giving your time, energy and skills, you will increase the range of support we can provide families and help to strengthen our connection to the communities we work in.
Whether you are befriending a child or young person, supporting a family, fundraising or supporting families over the phone with Children 1st Parentline, you will be making a real difference to the lives of children and families throughout Scotland.
We are committed to offering a rewarding and fulfilling volunteering experience and provide quality training, on-going support, opportunities for development and out-of-pocket expenses. Read more about our commitment to volunteers here.
