Gain experience. Make an impact. Support children this summer.

STREETS is offering a fantastic work experience opportunity for enthusiastic and committed individuals who want to support children and young people during our Summer 2026 Holiday Camps.

This role is ideal for anyone interested in education, youth work, sports coaching, or community development — or those looking to gain meaningful, hands-on experience for their CV.

STREETS delivers community, education and sports programmes that support young people and families across Luton and beyond.

As a United Nations DESA–accredited organisation, we use sport and structured activities to improve wellbeing, build confidence, and create positive opportunities for all.

Working in partnership with Active Luton and funded through the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, we provide safe, inclusive and engaging environments for children aged 5–11.

The STREETS Summer Camp is part of a four-week programme designed to support children during the school holidays through structured, fun and enriching activities.

Children will take part in:

• Multi-sports and physical activity 
• Arts & crafts 
• Edutainment sessions (fun learning through games and discussion) 
• Team challenges and confidence-building activities 
• VR sports experiences 

Each child also receives a meal, and families may receive additional support where required.
