Job description
Volunteer with Refugee Young People - Help with Homework and Activities
Location: Battersea, London
Programme: Future Foundations - Katherine Low Settlement
Join our Future Foundations programme and support young people from refugee and newly arrived backgrounds to thrive in school and beyond. Each club blends focused homework support with fun, creative activities that help build confidence, friendships and a sense of belonging. You'll be part of something that gives young people a brighter start in life, and you'll still get school holidays off.
Every hour you spend helps a young person feel more confident, more connected and more empowered to succeed.
Choose a club that works for you
Junior Homework Club (Ages 7-11) - Thursdays, 4:00 to 7:00pm
Support primary-aged children with reading, homework and structured play.
Senior Homework Club (Ages 11-14) - Wednesdays, 4:30 to 7:30pm
Help senior school aged students with schoolwork, confidence and communication, then join in with group games and creative activities.
Youth Homework Club (Ages 14-20) - Mondays, 4:00 to 7:00pm
Help older, newly arrived students with schoolwork, confidence and communication, then join in with group games and creative activities.
What you'll do
- Support young people with homework, reading and school projects
- Build confidence through games, conversation and encouragement
- Help run arts, crafts, sports or group activities
- Work alongside experienced youth workers and other brilliant volunteers
What you'll get
- Full training and ongoing support
- The chance to make a real difference in a young person's life
- A friendly community of staff and volunteers
- Great experience for anyone interested in education, youth work or community support
"Volunteering at Future Foundations has been such a rewarding experience. Seeing the young people improve in their reading and confidence week by week is incredible. One student told me they felt 'smarter' after we worked on homework together. That was a real highlight for me." - Future Foundations Volunteer
What we're looking for
- Kind, patient and enthusiastic people
- Good listeners who enjoy spending time with children or teens
- No experience needed, just a willingness to help and learn
- Volunteers from all backgrounds are welcome
We ask for a commitment of one afternoon per week, for at least six months (term time only).
Future Foundations is part of Katherine Low Settlement, a community charity in Battersea. We work with young people from refugee and newly arrived backgrounds through mentoring, homework clubs and educational support.
