Volunteering Opportunities
There are lots of ways you can support ZGT. We are a charity and we couldn’t continue to support vulnerable members of the community without your help.
ZGT is a community lead, based and focus organisation. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds for the following roles:
Front of House (FOH)
In anticipation of our new premises opening in Coleraine, ZGT is actively recruiting front of house volunteers to assist with the day to day running of ZGT.
We currently have availability for 9am – 12pm and 12pm – 5pm slots in which you will meet and greet clients, answer the office phone and provide drop in clients with the relevant ZGT information.
This is a great opportunity for anyone wishing to gain experience and/or wishing to contribute towards helping their community.
Youth Events
We facilitate a number of youth events and particularly advocate for this during mental health week. We offer mentoring for youth who can then support their peers. Mentors will be provided with ZGT information along with help packs for parents and family of peers if they are struggling.
Fundraising
If you are interested in organising fundraisers in aid of ZGT, we ask that you attend a meeting every 2 months to discuss any events you may know of or any other ideas you may have. This role will involve approaching local people, being a voice for ZGT & the community, as well as keeping track of funds raised (along with renewing collection boxes etc).
Become a ZGT Counsellor
If you are interested in becoming a ZGT counsellor, we require you to be qualified to at least Diploma level from a recognised validating organisation. Prior experience working with young people and vulnerable adults would be advantageous. Our counselling sessions are held in timetabled slots with unique spaces and are no more than 4 hours per week.
