What you can get involved in?
Bus
|
Each week, we bring our mobile youth centres – fully equipped buses – to different communities across London. They always draw huge crowds of young people who come to have a good time and talk to a youth worker. If you're a fan of teenagers, there's a spot for you here.
Time Commitment A minimum of two hours a month, but could be every week.

Music

If you have a passion for UK Drill, Grime, Hip-Hop, and R&B, this could be the perfect opportunity for you! Come join us in encouraging young people to express themselves through music. Our mobile recording studios and a static studio in Stratford provide the perfect space for young people to explore lyric-writing and creating their own tracks. No need to worry about operating any equipment - we just need you to motivate and inspire the next generation of music-makers!
