You’ll also be asked for feedback on ideas and the draft policy via email in between meetings. The project is expected to last until autumn 2025.
This is a great opportunity to gain experience within a large charity and develop your existing skills and learn new ones.

We also provide full training and support throughout your journey and you will have access to events and celebrations throughout the year!
We look forward to welcoming you to be a part of the One YMCA Family!
