Who runs YAC Branches?

YAC Branches are run by volunteers who generously give up their free time to run brilliant sessions for you! Some of them are professional archaeologists, some of them work in museums, and others are just interested in archaeology in their spare time.

Each YAC Branch has a Branch Leader who is in charge of the Branch and keeps YAC HQ up to date with what’s going on. There are Branch Assistants who help the Branch Leader to run sessions and there are Helpers who come along occasionally to help out. If you are interested in volunteering with YAC and to find out more details for each of the volunteer roles, you can learn more in our How do I volunteer to help at a YAC Branch? FAQ.

Parents and guardians might like to know that all YAC Branch Leaders and Assistants have gone through Criminal Records Checks, and have been vetted by our own YAC Approvals Panel. You can read more about of how YAC volunteers are vetted in our How do I know that my child will be safe at a YAC Branch meeting? FAQ.
