What you can get involved in?
Bus
Each week, we bring our mobile youth centres – fully equipped buses – to different communities across London. They always draw huge crowds of young people who come to have a good time and talk to a youth worker. If you're a fan of teenagers, there's a spot for you here.
Time Commitment A minimum of two hours a month, but could be every week. |
Music
If you have a passion for UK Drill, Grime, Hip-Hop, and R&B, this could be the perfect opportunity for you! Come join us in encouraging young people to express themselves through music. Our mobile recording studios and a static studio in Stratford provide the perfect space for young people to explore lyric-writing and creating their own tracks. No need to worry about operating any equipment - we just need you to motivate and inspire the next generation of music-makers!
Time Commitment A minimum of two hours a month, but could be every week. |
Sports
If you love sports and young people, then volunteering on our sports projects is for you! You’ll be adaptable and energetic, but a high level of sporting skill isn’t required! You’ll join a football or gym session, and you’ll have other volunteers and XLP sports staff encouraging you along the way.
Time Commitment A minimum of two hours a month, but could be every week. |
Mentoring
Mentoring is chance for you to spend one-on-one time with a young person. You’ll be a role-model and trusted advisor, supporting mentees in working towards achieving their goals. No specific skills are required for this role and full training is provided. If you’re passionate about making a lasting difference in a young persons life - then this is for you!
Time Commitment An hour a week, over a year, to ensure a lasting difference is made in the young person’s life. |
Tutoring
If you want to help young people in their education then tutoring is for you. You’ll help with online tutoring for young people who are preparing to take their Maths and English GCSEs. You'll need GCSEs in Maths, we'll provide the rest of the training.
Time Commitment An hour a week for up to a year, for a minimum of two academic terms. |
Company Visits
Hosting an employment skills workshop at your office (or virtually) makes a huge difference to a young person's career journey. Session could cover topics such as CV writing and interview preparation, as well as providing opportunities for practice interviews.
