Volunteering Opportunities
Volunteer to Inspire the Future in your local school or college
Inspiring the Future is a new free service which will see people from all sectors and professions volunteering to go into state secondary schools and colleges to talk about their jobs, careers, and the education routes they took.
Everyone from CEOs to apprentices can volunteer for Inspiring the Future. Recent graduates, school leavers and people in the early stages of their career can be inspirational to teenagers - being close in age they are easy to relate to; while senior and recently retired staff have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share. Volunteering for Inspiring the Future is free, easy, effective and fun.
Volunteers and schools/colleges are connected securely online, and volunteering can take place near home or work as you specify the geographic locations that suit you. Criminal Records Bureau checks are not needed for ‘career insight’ talks.
Registration is now open for Inspiring the Future at http://www.inspiringthefuture.org/
