Here at Feeling Strong we have a number of volunteering roles available, from supporting our hub nights and events to supporting fundraising. We would also encourage people to apply if they are young people and/or have lived experience of mental health challenges.
In some ways we believe that our volunteers are just as much our service users as the young people we work with due to the inherent therapeutic benefits of volunteering! Below you can read about our Volunteering Principles - Support, Commitment and Opportunity. We feel that having a value-centred and volunteer-led approach is the right way to get the best out of our volunteers, and we’re just here to support you to do exactly that.
Make a difference, gain confidence, build skills and meet new people: what's not to love? 👀 Read below for our current opportunities or email us for more information.

Support!
Support!
We believe that a support-first environment (as opposed to traditional line management) allows our volunteers to really shine and empowers them in their roles.
COMMITMENT!

What should I expect from volunteering at Feeling Strong?
Volunteers support staff through Hub Nights, for example the Drop-In Cafe, Art Night and Stitch 'n' B*tch. Volunteers are never left alone with the young people and are always supported by staff and other volunteers at sessions. Consistency is key to building up relationships with our young people so being able to come along to the same sessions regularly is crucial for building those connections.
What are the benefits to volunteering with Feeling Strong?
As a volunteer you will have access to training opportunities through Feeling Strong and the wider Dundee community. Travel is reimbursed where applicable. We host celebration events and socials for volunteers to get together and feel a part of the wider Feeling Strong family.
