Help a young person learn construction

← Back to search results

Essex Youthbuild is a charity that has been working with teenagers helping them gain construction and employability skills for more than 12 years. We take referrals from across Essex. 

Volunteers are needed to provide support to 14 - 19 yr olds in a workshop environment as part of their City & Guilds training programme in construction.

You will provide one-2-one support on specific tasks and may accompany and supervise them on building site visits as part of their learning & development plan. Experience of the construction industry and relevant tasks (bricklaying, painting, tiling carpentry and plastering) would be ideal but a good understanding of manual tasks and DIY types activities is essential.
