Newest opportunity!
Student Events Organiser
We're looking for motivated students who are up for a challenge, to put on events in their university and raise money for YouthNet, the UK's first online charity.
By raising a minimum of just £150, Student Events Organisers will be helping 16 to 24-year-olds make informed choices about drink, drugs, relationships, travel and more, through our award winning website, www.TheSite.org.
If a career in events, marketing or the charity sector sounds like your kind of thing, then fundraising for YouthNet could open up a world of opportunities.
Lifetracks Project Group Member
A development version of our website focusing on work and study, Lifetracks.com, went live in July. What you'll see at Lifetracks.com today is just the beginning. It's the starting-point that we'll be building on in the lead-up to the public launch of the service in November - and beyond.
We're looking for project group members to join an exclusive online community to discuss and debate ideas that will directly shape the content and functionality of the website. This is an ongoing virtual volunteering role and if you're passionate about the web it's a great chance to learn more about how websites are built, have your voice heard in this exciting project and make sure the site meets the needs of the people who will use it.
Other volunteering opportunities
Answer questions about relationships
Interested in becoming a relationships advisor? Volunteer as an online peer advisor and support young people by answering their questions on relationships. Set up in 2003, askTheSite offers young people access to individual, confidential and expert advice, answering their questions through a safe and secure part of TheSite.org. 
Your time and skills can make a big difference to our capacity to deal with young people's concerns.
Once you start volunteering as an online peer advisor you'll be able to apply to do our accredited course in providing 'Online Relationships Advice'. This course is accredited by the Open College Network.
Here below is a video about Suzanne's experiences as a volunteer online peer advisor.
Write for TheSite.org
Aspiring journalists: here is your chance to get a piece of work reviewed, edited and published on one of YouthNet's websites. We currently have an opportunity to be a ranter and talk about something that that's really got on your wick.
Blog about your volunteering
Can your volunteering experience inspire others? Are you an engaging writer? You may be a perfect candidate to write a blog for do-it.org.uk. Share your experiences as a volunteer blogger - your motivations, the challenges you face and the rewards you gain.
Get those creative cells working
Apply your skills as a photographer or an artist, and add some more colour to our websites. We go through a massive amount of images for articles, promotional work, email updates and even blog entries. So we're always on the lookout for TheSite photographers.
