Volunteer roles
Types of roles you can help with.
Panel member
Panels aim to reduce reoffending by young people. As a panel member, you will meet with the young people, their parents or carers and sometimes their victims, to help the young person understand the impact of their crime and take responsibility for their actions.
It’s mainly for young people who have admitted guilt and been convicted of their first offence.
Intervention support
In this role you will provide support to our intervention workers who supervise young people completing their reparation work in the community.
