Make a real difference to the life of a child or young person
The National Youth Advocacy Service (NYAS) is a leading children's rights charity dedicated to supporting and empowering children, young people and care leavers.
We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our Independent Visitor and Side by Side services, helping children and young people build confidence, reduce isolation and achieve positive outcomes.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference in someone's life while gaining valuable experience and becoming part of a supportive volunteer community.
Which volunteering opportunity is right for you?
Independent Visitor Volunteer
Children and young people in care deserve the opportunity to build trusted, positive relationships with adults who can offer consistency, encouragement and support.
As an Independent Visitor, you'll spend quality one-to-one time with a child or young person, taking part in activities, sharing experiences and building a meaningful friendship.
Young Person Quote:
"It gives you a friend that you can spend time with doing the things you like to do."
We ask for a commitment of a few hours each month for a minimum of two years.
Side by Side Volunteer
Many care leavers face adulthood without the support network that many young people rely on. Leaving care can be an exciting but challenging time, with some young people experiencing loneliness, isolation and uncertainty about the future.
As a Side by Side Volunteer, you will provide practical and emotional support to a care leaver, helping them build confidence, develop independence and navigate life's challenges.
Whether it's helping them access services, supporting them in achieving their goals, or simply being someone they can trust and talk to, your support can make a lasting difference.
We ask for a commitment of a few hours each month for a minimum of 12 months.
What you'll do
Depending on the role, you could:
- Build a trusted, positive relationship with a child, young person or care leaver.
- Meet regularly for activities, outings and conversations.
- Offer emotional support and encouragement.
- Support young people to build confidence and independence.
- Help young people access opportunities, services and support.
- Promote their rights, wellbeing and aspirations.
- Maintain brief records of meetings and activities. You don't need specific qualifications or previous experience.
We're looking for people who are:
- Good communicators.
- Compassionate, reliable and non-judgemental.
- Committed to supporting children and young people.
- Able to respect and value individual wishes and feelings.
- Comfortable completing basic online records and reports.
- Willing to participate in training and ongoing support.
What you'll receive
- Full training and ongoing support from a dedicated coordinator.
- Regular supervision and volunteer support meetings.
- Reimbursement of reasonable travel and activity expenses.
- Opportunities to develop new skills and gain valuable experience.
- The chance to make a lasting difference to the life of a vulnerable child or young person.
Requirements
- Based in the UK.
- Enhanced DBS check.
- References and Digital Risk Assessment.
- Completion of relevant training.
- Ability to complete online tasks and reports.
Applicants for Side by Side must be aged 25+.
Volunteer Quote
"Volunteering with NYAS has reinforced my belief in the crucial role of community support in empowering the next generation. Witnessing the positive changes and growth in the young person I support highlights the tangible impact that dedicated volunteers can have on building a brighter future for vulnerable individuals."
Interested?
We would love to hear from you.
Apply today and help ensure that children, young people and care leavers have someone by their side when they need it most.

Job description
Earth Stewards Travel Club | an Ecosy Travel initiative
We help travellers and accommodations plan, share, and transparently report low‑carbon flight‑free holidays.
Earth Stewards Travel Club is a grassroots climate action community for travellers and tourism professionals who believe exploring the world and protecting it go hand in hand. We organise guided events across London combining sightseeing with environmental action: canal clean-ups, forest garden volunteering, citizen science, wild swims, wetland walks, and more, and we're building a network of volunteer destination leaders to take the model to locations around the world.
We're a certified B Corp and registered social enterprise at an early and exciting stage. We've run our first trial event in London and are working on building the community before we scale. This is an opportunity to shape how an emerging climate action community delivers impact.
The role
We're looking for a proactive, personable, and organised volunteer to build and manage the distribution partnerships that get Earth Steward's events in front of the right people. You'll identify, approach, and develop relationships with hotels, hostels, and visitor accommodation in London, as well as tourism organisations, sustainable travel communities, and visitor-facing platforms whose audiences overlap with ours.
This is fundamentally a business development and relationship management role. You'll be representing Earth Stewards Travel Club externally, opening doors, and building the network of partners who help us grow without paid advertising.
This role suits someone with a background or interest in sales, business development, tourism, hospitality, or partnership management, and who wants to apply those skills to a purpose-driven business.
What you'll do
Hotel & accommodation partnerships
- Identify independent hotels, boutique stays, eco-friendly properties, hostels, and B&Bs in London whose guests are likely to be interested in our events
- Reach out to concierge teams, guest experience managers, and hotel marketing contacts to propose distributing Earth Stewards event information to their guests, via leaflets, digital displays, concierge recommendations, or inclusion in welcome packs
- Build and maintain ongoing relationships with accommodation partners, keeping them updated on upcoming events and new tour routes
- Explore reciprocal opportunities where relevant, promoting partner properties to our community in return
Tourism organisation partnerships
- Identify and approach tourism organisations, destination management organisations, sustainable travel networks, and visitor guides whose audience matches our community of eco-conscious travellers
- Pitch co-promotion arrangements: newsletter features, social media cross-promotion, event listings in partner channels, or collaborative event programming
- Develop relationships with organisations already working at the intersection of tourism and sustainability including B Corp networks, social enterprise communities, and green travel platforms
Partnership management
- Maintain a simple CRM or partnership tracker to record outreach, conversations, and active relationships
- Brief the founder regularly on pipeline and active partnerships
- Work with the Community & events marketing coordinator to ensure partner co-promotion is joined up with our own content calendar
- Identify new distribution opportunities as the event programme grows and new routes launch
Who we're looking for
Essential
- Genuine passion for sustainability, climate action, or conscious travel
- Confident communicator: comfortable reaching out cold, following up, and building relationships with people you haven't met before
- Organised and self-directed: able to manage a pipeline of outreach without close supervision
- Professional written communication skills: you'll be representing Earth Stewards externally in emails and proposals
Desirable
- Background or experience in sales, business development, account management, hospitality, or tourism
- Existing knowledge of or contacts within the London hotel, hostel, or sustainable tourism sector
- Experience with partnership or sponsorship outreach
- Familiarity with sustainable travel organisations, B Corp networks, or social enterprise communities
Minimum Hours per Week:
10+ hours per week
Duration:
6+ months
