Apply NowWant to make a real community difference? Join the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Youth Volunteer Scheme to build confidence, sharpen communication and teamwork, learn practical safety skills, take part in drills and gain insight into emergency response.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Youth Volunteer Scheme is a national volunteering programme for young people. It is designed to help participants build confidence, improve communication, develop teamwork skills, and gain practical experience of community service in a safe and welcoming setting.
Young volunteers can learn about the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, take part in simple drills, and understand more about safety and prevention. The scheme also gives young people the chance to support their local community through activities such as litter picks, charity car washes, event marshalling, fundraising, and sharing safety messages.
It is not a guaranteed route into becoming a firefighter, but it can offer useful support and guidance for anyone interested in a future career with SFRS. Applications are made online, and places depend on whether there is a local group running nearby.
- Young people aged 12-17 can apply.
- You should tell the scheme where you live and which YVS location you are interested in.
- You will only be contacted if there is a Youth Volunteer Scheme group running near you.
Free to join; no participant fee is stated.
