We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers with specialist skills to support the RSPB’s Education, Families, and Youth team in developing our work with children and young people through our RSPB Youth Groups (Wildlife Explorers and Phoenix groups). This is a home-based, flexible role requiring around 3-4 hours per week.

What you will be doing

As an RSPB Youth Group Social Media Volunteer, you will help promote our Youth Groups’ events and activities to increase their reach and encourage more children and young people to join, as well as attracting new volunteers. Your responsibilities include:
