Volunteering with Future First

It can be hard for a teenage pupil to imagine life after school or college. They need someone like them to inspire and guide them. Past students. Role models in accessible apprenticeships and jobs.

Future First is the only UK education charity connecting state school and college pupils, of all backgrounds and abilities, to former students they can truly relate and aspire to.

Inspired by you…

It’s easy to sign up and volunteer at your old school or college! Type in the name of your old school or college here and follow the quick instructions on how to enter your details. If your school or college is not a Future First member school, you can still volunteer by joining the National Alumni Network which is committed to giving back to schools across the UK, you can join the national network, here.

There are so many ways you can give back to your old school or college, from simply submitting a photo for a poster or giving up one morning or afternoon to attend a workshop.
