Volunteer Roles

At The Advonet Group, we have many different volunteering roles to help you build skills, build confidence and help to make people’s voices heard.

We have a number of volunteer roles across the organisation. They range from advocacy to helping govern our inclusion projects.

Here is a list of the roles we have:

Trustee: At the Advonet Group, we have a board of trustees that meet every two months. The trustee’s role is to ensure we are delivering the best possible service for everyone we work with and are following advocacy principles.
Autism Employment Mentor: Meeting regularly with an autistic adult to help them set and achieve life goals, with a focus on employment.
Autism Peer Support Volunteer: Working with an autistic adult to help with understanding their condition and setting strategies for managing day-to-day.
Autism Drop-In Hub Volunteer: Supporting Leeds Autism AIM’s staff and clients at their drop-in Autism Hubs twice a month.
Autism AIM Steering Group member: The Autism AIM team’s Steering Group helps to make sure the project is working as it should be. It has a say in what it should be doing and shaping its’ future work. Most of the group are autistic adults.

Learning Disability Citizen Advocate: A volunteer Citizen Advocate is paired up with someone with a learning disability in an advocacy match. The two people in an advocacy match meet regularly and the Citizen Advocate helps their advocacy partner by ensuring they feel supported to speak up for their rights. This role is with our Asking You service.
