At The Literacy Hubs our volunteers are a vital part of the work we do, enabling us to provide high quality, 1-1 and small group support to the young people on our programme.
Who Can Volunteer?
As a not-for-profit, educational charity, we aim to be as inclusive as possible and welcome applications from people with a variety of backgrounds. You don’t need to have worked as a teacher, or in a school to join the team; an enthusiastic desire to create a positive and supportive environment is enough of a qualification! However, we are currently unable to accept applications from anyone under the age of 18.
Interested in Volunteering?
Our volunteer roles would be a great fit for anyone who:
- Has a good level of literacy, and feels confident supporting others in this area
- Is able to build a good rapport with children and young people
- Enjoys mentoring and supporting people
- Is willing to provide positive support and encouragement
What we offer our volunteers:
- Planned sessions, led by a qualified teacher
- A clear explanation of what you will be doing and why
- A safe and enjoyable volunteering environment
- Appropriate training, guidance and support for your role
- Refreshments provided at each session
- Regular communications from the charity with updates on progress and news
- An invitation to attend our end of term project celebration events
- A number of regular social events throughout the year
- Recognition of outstanding service (eg. hours given) to the charity
