Our amazing Business Volunteers inspire and support young people to set up and run a real business. This hands-on and highly impactful role involves mentoring and encouraging students to face the challenges of running a business, and the inevitable setbacks this entails, in a safe space to apply their learning to the real world.

The key activities of the role include:

* Coaching, mentoring, and positively challenging a group of young people running their own business

* Being a supportive and encouraging role model

*Attending regular company meetings within the school environment

* Keeping a group of students on track and supporting them with more complicated tasks ie. Opening a business bank account

Business volunteers are primarily based within schools/ colleges supporting a group of students for approximately one hour per week throughout the school term. Volunteers do not necessarily need experience of running a business in order to enjoy and make a big impact in this role.

As a Business Volunteer, you'll gain the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on young people’s lives while developing your own skills. Volunteers often report increased confidence, improved communication and coaching abilities, and a deeper sense of purpose.
