Children's Residential Group Leader Organisation
Free to Be Kids Role Overview
Free to Be run adventurous, nature-based residentials to give vulnerable young people a space to have fun and to feel invited and accepted. You’ll have lots to talk to the kids about whilst they’re meeting animals at the farm, paddling on the beach for the first time, playing football (whilst covered in facepaint of course!) and camping out under the stars. These activities are all carefully designed to broaden horizons but also to scaffold the building of self-confidence, resilience, and trust in others. As a residential Group Leader, you’ll stay on-site for 1 week, and gain invaluable experience working with a dynamic range of truly incredible children to help them have a break and a chance to get continual positive adult support. Alongside at least one other volunteer, you will help foster the empowerment of young people from a variety of underprivileged backgrounds, showcasing their individual spirits through inclusivity and togetherness. You’ll be there to help them discover how brilliant they are; showing them kindness, and teaching them to be proud of themselves as they explore and grow through the week. Activities
