Volunteering Opportunities
Could You Be A Volunteer?
Could you act as a mentor to a Year 11 pupil? A Teenage Parent? An Offender? A Lone Parent? Could you encourage a young person to take a different direction in life? Could you offer Primary Schools support with one-to-one reading sessions?
Salford Foundation runs several Mentoring and Support Programmes which run across Greater Manchester.
There are currently over 250 volunteers with Salford Foundation, but we always need more people. Volunteers range in age from 19 to 70+. Many work for local organisations which support our programmes, but many volunteers assist in their own time. We are not looking for people who are experts, just people who can use their experience of life to help someone else.
We offer full training and support throughout. There is an opportunity to attend an Accredited Training Course, as well as several awareness days and focus groups.
