Students4Students is a member led charity, that has been operating for seven years, with c.100 current members across our four branches. As a member led organisation, we invest heavily in involving our volunteers in our decision-making processes and building a sense of community.

• Owning and managing the processes for how S4S interacts with existing members of our alumni network and increasing membership.
• Working with our community and events lead to create engaging events for alumni and current members.
• Design and execute a multi-year alumni network strategy.
Time commitment
• Throughout the year – We expect the post holder to commit to an average of 1-2 hours per week
Key requirements
i. Experience managing key relationships and stakeholders
ii. Experience with comms
iii. Experience running events
Optional requirements
i. Experience working in a non-profit setting
ii. Experience working in an educational setting
iii. Experience working with student volunteers (Preferred but not essential)

We are looking for someone to volunteer their time to being a Clerk for our small charity supporting children in the one of the poorest places on the planet to exit extreme poverty.
What will you be doing
As a key part of the governance of the charity, the commitment and energy you can bring to our Board will make a key difference to the charity and the children we support.
You will work closely with the Board of Trustees, especially the Secretary and Chair of the Trustees to help support our charity’s mission, in particular:
- Attend board meetings (virtually, held 6 times a year) and accurately record the decisions and actions in the meetings
- Coordinate agenda and papers for Trustee meetings
- Assisting in various compliance activities, such as coordinating the timely update of Chaffinch’s policies
- Provide ad-hoc admin support to the Trustees
What difference will you make
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance and strategic direction of the charity. An effective support mechanism is very important to ensure that the Board is able to deliver on its key objectives.
Chaffinch is still a relatively young charity (10 years) with a modest annual turnover. Many will overlook us as being insignificant amongst the larger charities. However, Chaffinch has scope to make a very real difference to the children of Kibera through our work empowering local people. Finding the right volunteer could mean the difference between a charity that helps a few young people and a charity that generates real opportunity and hope for children to build successful lives for themselves and future generations.
