Our amazing Business Volunteers inspire and support young people to set up and run a real business as part of our Company, Team and Startup programmes. 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 role involves coaching and mentoring a group of students in a school in Devon to run theit own real business. You will attend regular meetings within the school, and use our online portal Company Connect to inspire and motivate the young people.
A great volunteer will be encouraging and open minded, able to communicate effectively with young people, and able to commit to regular meetings with school hours.
You do not need any specific experience of running a business to be a brilliant Business Volunteer. Young people really value volunteers from all walks of life- you might just be inspiring the next generation.
