Volunteer Mentor in Local Schools

Ready to make a positive difference to the lives of young people in your community? 

Searching for an impactful volunteering opportunity that works around your schedule? 

Looking to meet like-minded people and work together to support a worthwhile cause? 

At ReachOut we’re offering all that and more through our exciting opportunity to volunteer as a mentor in a local school! 

How it works? 

• Give just two hours of your week to support young people aged 9-14 to build key socio-emotional skills and grow in confidence. 

• Choose a 12-week project at one of our partner schools in your area that fits your schedule. 

• Work with like-minded volunteers with support from ReachOut staff as you get stuck into collective mentoring activities and engaging group games. 

• From creative to active to thought-provoking activities on our curriculum, there are so many opportunities to watch your mentees build team-working, problem solving and emotion management skills thanks to your support. 

• If you love it like we think you will, choose to volunteer on as many short programmes as you want! 

Is this the right opportunity for me? 

• Feel a part of something bigger as you support young people who are constrained by circumstances. 

• Develop your own soft skills that employers look for including initiative, teamwork, communication and leadership skills. 

• Feel supported by inclusive training ahead of starting and weekly support from your Youth Development Lead on your project, giving you everything you need to excel as a mentor, even if it’s your first time! 

• Don’t be out of pocket! – Simply claim your travel expenses back up to £4/day. We also cover the cost of your enhanced DBS check which is organised for you as part of your onboarding process.
