Do you have a passion for history or culture? Are you a people person? Would you like to get more involved with your local area?

If the answer is yes, then why not become a volunteer? 

There are so many different things to do within volunteering. Each role offers flexible hours, and we provide full training and support.

What's more, volunteering is a great way to: 

  • meet new people and make new friends
  • develop new skills and learn about the district's history, stories and collections
  • build your confidence
  • be active
  • gain work experience

Current Opportunities

You can browse our current volunteering opportunities and register your interest on Citizen Coin.

When you volunteer with us, you can earn rewards with Citizen Coin. Citizen Coin is a local scheme that thanks people for helping in their community. You earn digital coins when you give your time. You can then use them to get discounts at shops, cafés, and places around Wakefield. 

It’s a great way to get involved, learn something new - and enjoy a little reward too.
