Volunteering For Young People

We believe that every young person should have the opportunity to learn basic life saving skills.

St John Ambulance offers all young people the opportunity to participate in our youth groups, whether you’re aged five or 25.

Badgers

If you're aged between five and 10, you can join Badgers. Learn first aid, have fun and you could even become a Super Badger! Cumbria has Badger Setts located in Barrow-In-Furness, Carlisle, Kendal, Maryport, Ulverston and Whitehaven.

Cadets

10 to 16-year-olds can become Cadets. You’ll get the best first aid training, and a wide choice of other activities. You'll never be stuck for something to do. We have Cadet groups based in Barrow-In-Furness, Carlisle, Kendal, Maryport, Ulverston and Whitehaven.

LINKS

If you attend the University of Cumbria you can join our LINKS unit. Our University of Cumbria LINKS unit meets at Fusehill Street Campus in Carlisle.

Youth Leaders

If you're older, but you have what it takes to inspire young people, we have vacancies for youth leaders. To find out more about becoming a youth volunteer in Cumbria, email Angela Cooke or call 01228 528684 and select option 2.
