There are a number of opportunities within Voluntary and Community sector (VCS) settings to work with children and young people aged 5 - 11.
Many Out of School clubs, Junior Youth groups and Extended Services offer a range of facilities and activities for Children and Young People in the 5 – 11 age category. These services are largely supported by local schools, County and District Councils and parents.
Uniformed groups e.g. Beavers and Brownies, also provide a variety of activities for Children and Young People across North Yorkshire. Other uniformed groups like St Johns Ambulance have a large number of Badgers and Cadets aged 5 - 11. St John’s Ambulance encourages Children and Young people to support their local communities and work with other youth organisations.
