Volunteerwith GAMAID.
These are the jobs our volunteers do, on set days, alongside staff who have done them for years.
Whatvolunteers do.
Cooking and serving
in the GAMAID Kitchen. The most-needed and most-regular job.
Teaching and tutoring
literacy, numeracy, exam preparation, and digital skills.
Driving
food runs, hospital trips, collections of donated goods.
Trade skills
tailoring, carpentry, masonry and painting instructors for the empowerment programme.
Filming, photography and design
for the multimedia training and for recording the work, with consent.
Hospital and home visits
sitting with people who have nobody else.
Mentoring
a regular hour with one young person, for at least six months.
Legal and medical professionals
clinics and advice sessions, by arrangement.
Time
A single afternoon helps. A regular weekly slot helps more. Mentoring needs a commitment of at least six months, because the young person will notice if you stop.
Safeguarding
Volunteers who work with children, or with adults who are vulnerable, are asked for references and an identity check, are never alone with a child, and follow our safeguarding statement. This protects the people we serve, and it protects you.
