After last week's video about Corporate Volunteering, we're really pleased to be able to share two new videos with you about further volunteering opportunities with IntoUniversity.
The first is about Academic Support tutors, who help students with their homework, coursework, revision and study skills at our after-school sessions. Volunteer tutors are required at each of our centres to act as role models, supporting academic progress and providing inspiration and encouragement to young people for whom university education is not necessarily a common expectation.
The second video is about our Undergraduate Mentoring Scheme, which provides students with one-to-one support from an inspiring role model who has been through the university process and can offer invaluable advice and guidance. Mentoring pairs meet twice monthly to engage in activities designed to support the mentee in three areas: educational attainment, social skills and exploring future plans. Activities might include helping with homework, cooking, playing a board game, writing an article for the mentoring magazine or taking part in a group trip to a university. Mentoring is offered to our students as a reward for good behaviour and commitment.
Please visit our website to find out more about these and many other volunteering opportunities with IntoUniversity. Even if you are unable to give your time to support our work, hopefully these videos will give you a further insight into the ways our staff and volunteers help young people to raise and achieve their aspirations.
