VOLUNTEERS wanted: WImbledon

Do you love young people and love God?! This could be your opportunity to serve!!

Project: 'Open Room

We want to continue to build genuine relationships with the young people who congregate outside centre court shopping centre and the surrounding area. Our aim is to engage relevantly with the young people through the art of conversation, playing games and giving out free hot drinks. In all of this we will be open about our Christian faith, offering support through prayer with any young people who express an interest. We are there also to be signposts, pointing the young people to any relevant after school activities or youth groups that may be running. We also hope to set up a newsletter or a flyer which we can hand out in post card form, which will list the time & places of relevant activities, as well as important useful information such as connections, child abuse helpline ect.

We are looking to work each session in a team of 4 youth workers, operating between 3:30- 5:30pm beginning on Wednesday & Thursday afternoons. However, we hope to put a team of at least 10 youth workers together, so that we can operate on a rota basis.

If you have a passion to see the love of God communicated through many means to the young people of central Wimbledon, then this could be for you! Whatever you can offer, be it 2 hours, once every 2 weeks or 2 hours, 2 afternoons a week, we would love for you to be a part of the team!

Other information

All members of the 'Open Room' team will receive free off-peak Gym membership from the YMCA centres based in Wimbledon, Kingston & Surbiton. As a team we hope to meet together every few months for some food, prayer and laughter which will enable us to work more effectively-
