Who would you like to help today? The Young Enterprise Programmes are based on the principle of "learning by doing" and each programme involves practical, fun, hands-on activity, led by a Volunteer from local business or the community working alongside teachers/lecturers with specifically designed Young Enterprise programmes. Young Enterprise Volunteers become part of an exciting and enjoyable learning experience for the local community. Through becoming a Young Enterprise Volunteer, you can make a real difference to the lives and potential of young people in your area by helping them to understand the world of business and prepare for their working lives. Young Enterprise provides a volunteer pack containing information on the programme and how to present/facilitate it. Volunteers are not alone! Young Enterprise provides training and support and for most Young Enterprise Companies two volunteers share the responsibilities of the role. There is no previous experience or expert knowledge required of a volunteer, other than their own experience of work and business and their enthusiasm. Young Enterprise Volunteers act as role models from the world of work to young people who have, in many cases, volunteered to become involved. As well as offering a learning experience for students, Young Enterprise programmes also bring learning benefits for the Volunteers who are encouraged to develop their own skills and knowledge alongside the students. Young Enterprise Volunteers are welcomed from all walks of life, and do not necessarily have to work in business. Many Young Enterprise volunteers are retired business people or those nearing retirement. Young Enterprise Volunteers share in the learning experience of the young people they support, exploring and developing their own Enterprise Capability alongside the students. Volunteer NOW!>>
