If you are looking to make a difference in a local community and find a fulfilling role whilst building your professional skillset, then look no further! Our volunteers love building a rapport with each pupil, seeing pupil growth, and personal confidence increase across the 12 week programme. By the end of the programme, you will see how the support you give has enabled a young person to not only double their expected progress, but also build long term resilience.
Alongside this meaningful experience, you will also be able to gain access to our career mentorship scheme and attend our employability seminars, as well as receiving a personalised reference upon completion.
This is an opportunity to enhance your CV and improve your employability skills - all whilst supporting young people from low-income backgrounds!
