About Opportunity
Volunteers will have the opportunity to work with S3 to S6 pupils across the Grampian region in our exciting, fun and informative workshops. By helping out with the activities and being available to answer questions about their post-school education experience, volunteers will encourage pupils to continue studying after school. All our volunteers are fully trained in all our workshops and are fully supported by the project team. If you would like to have fun, meet new people, work with young people and increase your skills and employability, then get in touch!
