Why Volunteer?

Make a difference while growing yourself.

Volunteering with The Boys’ Brigade is an opportunity to inspire children and young people, develop your own leadership skills, and become part of a community that has been changing lives for over 140 years.

From weekly activities and games to camps, community projects, and faith-based learning, our volunteers help create experiences that build confidence, character, and lifelong friendships for young people aged 5–18.

What you’ll gain

Volunteering is rewarding for everyone involved. As a leader, you’ll have the chance to:

  • Build leadership and communication skills
  • Make a lasting impact in your local community
  • Support children and young people as they grow in confidence
  • Take part in camps, outdoor adventures, and community projects
  • Meet like-minded people and build lasting friendships
  • Explore and share the Christian faith in a positive, supportive environment

Why The Boys’ Brigade?

For generations, The Boys’ Brigade has helped young people grow into responsible, caring, and confident adults. Our programmes encourage physical, mental, and spiritual development through fun, challenge, and service.

Whether you’re leading games, teaching a new skill, organising a camp, or simply being a positive role model, you’ll be part of experiences that genuinely change lives.

Who can volunteer?

You don’t need to be an expert—just someone who cares about young people. The qualities that make great volunteers include:

  • Patience and empathy
  • Responsibility and reliability
  • A willingness to learn
  • Enthusiasm for working with children and young people

If you’re ready for a new challenge and want to make a real difference, we’d love to welcome you to The Boys’ Brigade.
