Are you great with kids? Do you have a wealth of knowledge you’re just dying to share with the next generation? Then this is probably the perfect volunteer route for you. As an Education Support Volunteer, you’ll work directly with kids in local primary and secondary schools, helping them build valuable skills for their future. Depending on the organisation, you could be doing anything from helping improve their reading skills to organising outdoor discovery and learning activities. You may even get the chance to lead your own lessons with small groups, which is great experience if you’re looking to become a teacher. This role can be quite flexible but will most likely take place on weekdays during school hours or in the late afternoon, which means it's ideal if you're working part-time or are currently studying.
“ I love volunteering, I absolutely think everyone should volunteer in some capacity. It builds our own skills, gives us an enormous sense of self-worth and achievement and most importantly, helps a charity or good cause take a step further to an objective or overall mission. “
