Are you interested in how young people deal with the complex mix of challenges that shape their identities and wellbeing? Help us explore how our approach to social action in schools can grow and evolve, and provide direct support to schools.

What difference will you make?

From the pervasive impact of climate change, to the rise in racism, misogyny, and cultural stereotyping both online and offline, many young people are navigating a world marked by inequality and injustice. Mental health issues are increasingly prevalent, often exacerbated by social media pressures, academic stress, and a lack of accessible support. In addition, conflicts like the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, economic uncertainty, and a widening gap in opportunities contribute to feelings of anxiety, disempowerment, and disconnection. Despite these challenges, many young people are actively seeking ways to make a difference and demand change in the systems that shape their lives. Over the last two years we have been supporting three, forward-thinking state schools to help their students develop and lead their own social action projects focused on issues that matter to them. You can see what this has meant to one school, Seven Kings School in Ilford, through two short videos you can see on our website (https //ep-foundation.org/social-action-support-for-schools). You don’t need to be an educationalist, but if you have had some experience with state secondary schools that will undoubtedly help. You don’t need to have experience of the world of charities, social enterprises, voluntary and community groups, but you do need to have an ambition to use your skills and experience with this social sector.

What are we looking for?

You're looking for meaningful voluntary work that aligns with your values and skills. You want to be part of a small but experienced organisation that has been working in the social sector for over 20 years. You have experience in strategic development and planning, project / programme management, business advice / analysis

What will you be doing?

We're looking for a volunteer to join our project team, working with two of our Trustees – Catherine Tollington and Brent Thomas. They have developed an approach that begins by engaging a self-selected group of student activists. These are students concerned with social and societal issues that affect them and their peers. Through guided group discussions and collaboration with school leaders, students are supported to design and deliver activities that make a real difference. The impact has been transformative – building stronger school communities, more inclusive schools and empowering students to be active changemakers. We’re seeking help with
