Volunteers are central to Southwark Education Business Alliance’s work. Their team can work with your business to develop new and exciting ways to engage with young people. As a business, you can offer work placements, mentoring opportunities, support for enterprise projects or get involved in their careers fair to help young people learn about your business and sector.
Individuals can also volunteer, as a mentor or by supporting in-school workshops, giving talks about their career and experiences of work, or helping young people develop the skills and confidence they need for their futures.
