BE AN ADULT YOUTH LEADER WITH ST JOHN YOUTH
St John Youth Members participate in regular training sessions at their local division, usually weekly, for up to 2 hours during school terms. First Aid training includes a blend of accredited qualifications and non-accredited training. Training nights also offer members a place to socialise, take part in fun activities and help build their leadership skills.
As an Adult Youth Leader, you will volunteer your time and work with the Divisional Leaders to ensure the smooth running of the program. Taking on the role of an Adult Youth Leader is a rewarding experience where you can make a positive impact, learn new skills, and engage with your community.
