How would you like to help?

Every year, thousands of people volunteer their time to support Urdd activities.

As Eisteddfod adjudicators, football coaches, singing teachers, parents, local branch leaders, teachers, older members and much more… without your help the Urdd would not exist in its current form, and we are truly grateful for this contribution.

You can volunteer with:

Help run a local branch, youth group, lunchtime club or after-school club.

You don’t need a coaching qualification to start assisting at a local club. You can work alongside Urdd staff and apprentices to gain experience.

Support a club, lead an activity or help at a sports competition or event.

Welcome visitors, support competitions or help with performances and local or national Eisteddfodau.

Join a SWOG volunteer team and help young people enjoy a memorable summer camp.

Support day trips, overseas visits or humanitarian projects when opportunities are available.

Collect photographs, videos and stories, or help the team run events across Wales.

FAQs

Individuals over the age of 14 can volunteer for the Urdd across Wales. Opportunities vary with age and more responsibilities are given as you get older.

No previous qualifications or experience are required to volunteer with the Urdd. There are many volunteering opportunities where experience/qualifications are not required including local sports clubs and events.

However, if you have a sports coaching qualification, there will be more opportunities and responsibilities available to coach children and young people in our clubs.
