Welcome to Reach Volunteering. We are a community and registered charity that connects people, skills and good causes.

To apply for this role, and any other on our platform, you need to be based in the UK, have at least three years of experience using the skills you wish to volunteer in a professional capacity or have lived experience (for trustee roles). Read more about our criteria.

We are looking for volunteers from businesses across a range of sectors.

Join us for a unique and rewarding event supporting SEND young people as a mentor for an Enterprise Challenge event.

What will you be doing?

Join us for a unique and rewarding event supporting young people with special educational needs as they take part in a creative, hands-on Green Tech Enterprise Challenge. This interactive session encourages students to explore environmental themes and green technology through teamwork and innovation.

As a volunteer, you'll guide students through the challenge, acting as a mentor and facilitator—helping them shape ideas, ask questions, and build confidence. Volunteers don’t need to work in a “green” industry, but should be passionate about sustainability and willing to engage and encourage students. You’ll be supported throughout by Ahead Partnership staff and work alongside 2–4 other volunteers in a school setting.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for business volunteers who have knowledge of sustainability or technology in their industry - whether this is digital, green or beyond. 

We value volunteers who are adaptable in their communication style and enjoy mentoring & inspiring young people.
