VOLUNTEER
Give Your Time. Build Community
Volunteering with OUT North East and the ONE Centre is about more than giving your time, it is about helping to build a stronger, more connected LGBTQI+ community across the region.
At the ONE Centre, our 20+ volunteers play a key role in shaping a welcoming space where people can meet, learn, share experiences, and support one another. Whether you are greeting someone and setting up events, helping organise an event, contributing to arts and creative projects, supporting LGBTQI+ histories and research, doing outreach to promote the ONE Centre, or helping us tell community stories through media and archives, your contribution helps create a centre that truly belongs to the community.
Volunteering with us can also be a great opportunity to develop new skills, build confidence, and meet people who share your values. Many volunteers gain experience in areas such as community engagement, events, outreach, research, media production, arts programming, and community leadership.
We aim to make volunteering inclusive, flexible, and supportive. Volunteers receive induction, guidance and ongoing support from our team, and we are always happy to explore ways that your interests, ideas and skills can grow within the organisation.
Most importantly, volunteering with OUT North East means becoming part of a community that values care, solidarity and pride. For your time and effort, we offer rewards such as hotel stays, discounted concert tickets, and annual awards for the volunteers who go the extra mile.
Together, we are building a space where LGBTQI+ people across the North East can connect, celebrate, and thrive.
