I like that TRAIN always puts young people first and are always there to help them. I like being involved within the organisation as it is a very welcoming and supportive place
Want to help young people in your community grow in self-worth, discover their gifts, and positively contribute to society?
Be part of our team!
Use your skills and develop new ones as you champion and support young people in Didcot and Wallingford.
Volunteering with TRAIN looks like:
- Being a positive influence for young people
- Helping to plan and deliver engaging youth activities
- Working collaboratively with experienced youth workers, other volunteers, and young people
- Using your skills to make a difference
- Being part of young people’s journeys to becoming confident individuals who know their worth, feel a sense of belonging, and are active members of their communities
We run a whole range of activities throughout the week, including youth clubs, detached youth work (where we meet young people where they are – in parks, town centres etc), mentoring, and football, and we’re always in need of enthusiastic, committed volunteers to help.
Urgent Volunteering Opportunities:
We’re particularly in need of volunteers who can help us on:
- Tuesdays at 6-7pm in Didcot
- Wednesdays at 4-5pm in Didcot
- Thursdays at 5-6.30pm in Didcot
- Thursdays at 7.30-9pm in Didcot
- Thursdays at 4.30-6pm in Wallingford
- Occasional trips as a minibus driver

About You
We’re looking for volunteers who:
- Can commit regularly over a sustained period
- Are passionate about working with and helping young people in need and supporting their development
- Have strong listening skills and a non-judgmental attitude
- Value and practice good teamwork
- Can empathise with young people at risk
- Treat all young people with respect and dignity
