I'm currently a volunteer for Bridgend Youth Service and a youth information shop called Just @sk which is based in Bridgend town centre.

I have been a volunteer now for about 18 months and before becoming a volunteer I was a peer signposter.

This involved taking part in an OCN (Open College Network) Level 2 in Peer Helping Skills. After completing this course i had to put what i had learnt into practice.

The role of a peer signposter is to signposter young people to the relevant information. This sometimes includes signposting them here to the CLIC website.

I have really enjoyed being a volunteer and am intending to take it further where i will be furthering my education at university either at Newport or UWIC where I will embark on the Youth And Community Education Course.

I enjoy my role as a volunteer because I enjoy working with young people and it's important from someone who came from being a young person herself.

I believe that all young people should be provided with opportunities that they may not neccessarily get at home.

Ar hyn o bryd rwy’n wirfoddolwr i Wasanaeth Ieuenctid Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr a siop gwybodaeth ieuenctid o’r enw Just @sk a leolir yng nghanol tref Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr.

Rwyf wedi bod yn wirfoddolwr nawr am 18 mis a chyn dod yn wirfoddolwr roeddwn yn rhoi gwybodaeth i gyfoedion.

Roedd hyn yn golygu cymryd rhan mewn cwrs OCN (Rhwydwaith y Coleg Agored) Lefel 2 mewn Sgiliau Helpu Cyfoedion. Ar ôl cwblhau’r cwrs hwn roedd yn rhaid i mi roi'r hyn yr oeddwn wedi ei ddysgu ar waith.

Rôl cyfarwyddwr cyfoedion yw cyfarwyddo pobl ifanc at yr wybodaeth berthnasol. Mae hyn weithiau yn cynnwys eu cyfarwyddo yma at wefan CLIC.

Rydw i wedi mwynhau bod yn wirfoddolwr ac rwy’n bwriadu mynd â hyn ymhellach trwy ychwanegu at fy addysg yn y brifysgol naill ai yng Nghasnewydd neu UWIC lle byddaf yn dechrau ar  Gwrs Addysg Ieuenctid a Chymuned.

Rwy’n mwynhau fy rôl fel gwirfoddolwr oherwydd rwy’n mwynhau gweithio gyda phobl ifanc ac mae’n bwysig bod y gwaith hwn yn cael ei wneud gan rywun sy’n ifanc ei hun.

Credaf  y dylid rhoi cyfleoedd i bobl ifanc na allant o anghenraid eu cael gartref.
