Week Day Volunteers – join us
We are looking for volunteers to work alongside our skilled staff team to help support our Thrive Programme on Mondays and/or Wednesdays.
The Green Team’s award-winning Thrive programme is for 14-18 year olds and aims to support mental health through building a safe space, community, connection to nature, and achievement in activities.
Thrive is one of The Green Team’s most established and impactful programmes, successfully supporting some of Edinburgh’s hard to reach young people. It is a specialist therapeutic programme for young people wanting to improve their mental health. Thrive can have a positive lifelong impact.
Do you have the right combination of empathy, patience and enthusiasm to help them on their personal development journey through nature connection?

- to contribute positively to our small group outdoor programmes with young people

The Green Team is committed to reducing inequality, valuing diversity and enabling inclusion. We have also signed up to The Volunteer Charter through Volunteer Scotland which helps to ensure that volunteers are engaged in meaningful, inclusive and legitimate tasks which do not undermine the role of paid workers.
We welcome applications from people from all parts of the community, particularly where we are under-represented. Currently, this includes people who identify as having a disability, and those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups.
