Every year, millions of phone calls made by people who stammer are mishandled. Callers are misunderstood, laughed at or hung up on. Voice recognition systems don’t recognise their speech.
This can leave them being locked out of bank accounts, or unable to book GP appointments and get the help they need. It makes phone calls a nightmare. We’re here to stop this.
Between November 2025 and October 2026, we will be providing free Zoom workshops to companies and organisations, where we will outline the steps needed to end the phone call nightmares. We are looking for volunteers who stammer to talk directly to businesses and help them understand how and why these changes are needed. Our Workshop Volunteers will be at the very front of our national Space to Stammer strategy, which forms part of our National Lottery work. It’s an exciting opportunity to join STAMMA as we grow and launch our new Phone Call Nightmares Campaign.
We're looking for volunteers who can commit to at least 5 workshops over the next year. Please see the full role description on our website for current dates,
About the role
Working with our Training & Outreach team, we’re hoping that, following training, you’ll feel comfortable to:
-
Work within a pair to deliver pre-prepared workshops to a diverse audience of organisations.
-
Answer questions and facilitate discussion. The workshops will roughly comprise of 30mins of presentation, and 30mins open forum for discussion.
-
Share and answer questions about your own experiences on phone calls.
-
Facilitate training with Zoom: taking turns in a pair to manage Zoom administrative functions such as switching on the captions, keeping an eye on questions in the chat box, allowing visitors into the session, muting/unmuting.
-
Act as an ambassador for STAMMA, helping us to build good relationships with organisations, to help enact real change.
Who are we looking for?
You’re likely to enjoy volunteering in the Training & Outreach Service if you:
-
Enjoy public speaking and chatting with groups or would like to develop these skills.
-
Have or are interested in developing presentation skills.
-
Are comfortable both speaking and using the chat function in Zoom (or are happy to learn more about the platforms functionality).
-
Are comfortable sharing your personal experiences in relation to phone calls.
-
Have good time management skills – sessions will only last an hour, and every second counts!
-
Are passionate about making the world a better place for people who stammer.
-
Can commit to at least five sessions in advance.
For this role, it’s essential that you have a stammer. We think our message is best delivered directly from people who stammer, and your lived experiences will help make them sit up and listen.
You will need a quiet place where you can work in relative privacy and not be overheard during Zoom calls or telephone calls. You also need to have access to your own computer or laptop.
As a volunteer you can, of course, step back from the role at any time. However, both you and the service are likely to get most out of the opportunity if you’re able to volunteer with us for 12 months or more. By gradually learning and developing your confidence in the role, you can have the biggest impact.
What can you gain from this opportunity?
This is a wonderful opportunity to join a small and friendly team! We'll make sure you're supported in every step of your journey, and you'll get to meet some inspiring people. You'll gain skills that you'll be able to use in all areas of your life and build experiences for your CV. Most importantly, you will make a real difference in the lives of people who stammer.
How to apply

Commitment: 1 hour per week for 16 weeks
Location: Fully remote
Structure: We provide guidance, resources, and ongoing support, but there is no fixed curriculum.
Mentees: You will be paired with a small group of mentees (typically 6–9), aged 18–26, all fluent in English.
Scheduling: Mentors arrange sessions directly with mentees at mutually convenient times.
Who We’re Looking For
We welcome professionals from a wide range of industries. Our current mentors come from backgrounds including law, mental health, business, civil engineering, and architecture. Each mentor is carefully matched with students pursuing similar career paths to ensure meaningful and relevant engagement.
You do not need formal mentoring experience. We are seeking dedicated, emotionally intelligent, and inspirational professionals from around the world who bring real-world experience, strong communication skills, and empathy, and who are passionate about helping others grow.
This is not a traditional mentorship programme — it is a structured pathway designed to help young Afghan women develop the academic and professional skills needed to move forward despite the severe restrictions placed on them inside Afghanistan.
Applicants should hold either a master’s degree or a bachelor’s degree with at least 10 years of professional experience. They should demonstrate emotional intelligence, clarity in communication, and the ability to guide, inspire, and challenge thoughtfully. A reliable internet connection is also essential.
Our students have completed six levels of English and are now enrolled in one of four mentorship semesters. Each mentee follows her own unique path, whether:
-
Pursuing an online university degree,
-
Applying for scholarships abroad (Europe or the US), or
-
Seeking remote work or internships (particularly for qualified professionals currently unable to work inside Afghanistan).
This is an opportunity to make a tangible, life-changing impact. The women in our programme are courageous, determined, and eager to learn, yet they lack access to role models and practical guidance from professionals in their fields.
As a mentor, you will help them take the next step, n whether that means applying for scholarships, building a career portfolio, or gaining the confidence and professional skills to work remotely.
Our long-term goal is to move towards a 1:1 mentor-to-student ratio, ensuring that each young woman receives the personalised support she deserves.
