Volunteering
There are many opportunities to get involved as a volunteer with AcSEED. Whilst it is not a pre-requisite, we especially welcome applications from young people who have direct or indirect experience of mental health issues. We expect all volunteers to be passionate about improving emotional wellbeing support for all young people, to be committed to raising awareness of the importance of mental health to all children, and dedicated to tackling mental health stigma. We also promote a pro-recovery attitude towards mental illness.
If you would like to get involved as a volunteer with AcSEED please contact us.
We will need to assess the suitability of candidates for certain volunteering roles.
