Our Team
Civan
Trustee & Young Volunteer
My name is Civan, I am 17 years old and I’m from Westminster. I’ve been volunteering with Listen to Act for 4 years and recently joined the ARC Outreach Alliance project. I became a Listen to Act trustee earlier this year. I am an ex-member of Youth Parliament which is a role I was in for 3 years. I was elected on the basis of mental health. I volunteer and believe in this platform because I want to improve mental health services in my local community and give young people a voice.
Kaden
Young Volunteer
Hullo! I’m Kaden, from Westminster. James and I are Members of Youth Parliament for Westminster, which means we are elected to represent the young people of our constituency. Mental health is still a huge area of deficit for the youth here in the UK, both in terms of the services provided and the stigma that surrounds the subject. That’s why projects like these are massively important; they perform vital research to identify and localise the key issues so that they can be effectively mitigated. I am proud to be a part of this programme, and I hope I can help it achieve its aim to begin to tackle the colossal problems at the core of our youth mental health situation.
Isra
Young Volunteer
Coming from Hillingdon, an area with a population generally from lower income backgrounds, low progression to higher education, a community of refugees, homelessness and more, it's important as ever to widen the conversation about mental health. Being part of this community means I share some of the unfortunately pretty common issues mentioned. The ARC Outreach Alliance project empowers me to share my experience, shape research and hopefully make a positive change.
Why volunteer with us?
Volunteer Leadership Training & Mentoring
Volunteer training and mentoring is a key part of our approach to engagement. Our comprehensive programme equips young volunteers with the skills needed to influence, persuade and inspire change as a young leader.
We offer an enriching experience that will bolster your self-assurance, focusing on specific skill sets and leadership qualities, so you feel able to volunteer with confidence.
