Why Volunteer?

✅ Inspire and support young people in their career journey
✅ Share your industry knowledge and insights

✅ Make a lasting impact with just a small commitment of your time

We provide training and implement all safeguarding requirements to ensure you feel confident and supported in your role.

“It was an absolute pleasure to present to the generation. We all should be listening to more, the next generation. Presenting and engaging with these 18-year-olds about goals, strategies, and my journey was both humbling and energising. Taking so much away from the talk, this group were engaged, direct, and focused, with some having started their entrepreneurial journey. I left Coopers School feeling proud that I have a captivating journey to share that inspires others to move forward at pace with the compass to navigate around my pitfalls.”
