Broadening horizons of kind young people
The local branch of Outset Youth Action offers young people, between the ages of 13 and 25, the chance to support the communities they live in through a range of volunteering roles.
Now, the group is recruiting to bolster its own group of volunteers serving as charity trustees and committee members.

Currently it assists more than 1,200 young people across West Sussex.
The charity is looking for people with a range of skills and experiences to join its organisation and help it grow in the coming months and years.

Previous experience of working alongside young people, in whatever capacity, would be desirable but is not essential.
