About the Organisation
Join a youth and education charity that empowers young adults to tackle educational inequality by volunteering full-time in schools. This mission is twofold:
To give every pupil the chance to succeed, by coaching those furthest from opportunity to achieve the social, emotional, and academic results they need.
To harness the talent and idealism of young people to drive social change in education while developing leadership skills for their future careers.
Since 2009, over 1,500 young people have volunteered with the organisation, making a difference in the lives of more than 15,000 pupils. Many of the alumni go on to work in education or pursue careers in a wide range of fields, from social work to business, engineering, and even starting their own ventures.
If you’re passionate about making a difference and developing your leadership potential, we want you to join the team. Start your journey, give a year, and #BeTheChange.
