Tower Hamlets EBP Volunteer Opportunities 2016/17

Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership (THEBP) is a leading education charity preparing young people for the future by providing best-in-class programmes, enriching education, training and development. By connecting schools and businesses we foster positive attitudes and show young people how learning can provide the practical life and work skills to support their future aspirations.

To do that, we need you! Below is a schedule of up and coming volunteering opportunities on THEBP Employability, Enterprise and Financial Skills events. Volunteers support a small group of students as they work through the workshops and activities. To volunteer simply select an event and date and email the contact person. If you have any questions about a particular project or programme please do not hesitate to email or call the contact person.

We welcome teams of volunteers as well as individuals. Volunteers also do not need to undergo a DBS background check.

Events require no or little preparation – volunteers need to bring nothing and to dress as they would for the office. No prior training is required. All events are chaired by THEBP. Schedule last updated on 20/10/16
