Volunteers
Creative Leadership
Yuniya creates volunteering pathways for young people from 14 to 25 years who are interested in storytelling, creativity, community, culture, nature, and future pathways.
Volunteers become part of the wider Yuniya ecosystem, supporting storytelling sessions, arts activities, public projects, festivals, nature-based experiences, and creative enterprise work.
Through volunteering, young people move from participation into contribution, building confidence, leadership skills, practical experience, and a stronger sense of where their creativity can lead.
