Mentoring Scheme
Every Tuesday from 1pm to 3pm.
Calling all student volunteers from a range of academic backgrounds with a passion for their subject and an interest in young people and education. Want to make a difference? This is the perfect project for you, as we will team you with a young person about to take their GCSEs or someone who struggles with reading, writing and ask that you support them through out the academic year on the road to their success. You will experience nothing more satisfying, interesting and challenging.
We have teamed up with an incredibly flexible organisation dedicated to the service of Manchester’s Young People and looking to support these students achieve both academic and civic success. Whatever time and skill you can provide we can find a place and young person for you to work with. Don be shy, apply!

Enrichment Programme
Every Friday 9am to 3pm (school day).
We have teamed up with an all girl’s school based in Moston in challenging circumstances. We are looking for young people to work with our students on a range of academic and enriching projects anything from potting plants, to working with artists for the Whitworth Art Gallery, building solar panelled cars and slam poetry to the normal everyday academic support you would expect in a school.
We are looking for enthusiastic people to support the teachers in delivering our enrichment programme designed to offer and award our students with a cultural edge and a range of experiences beyond their financial reach. If you have an idea and project you wish to deliver or just wish to gain experience in an educational format and could do with the support of Manchester’s biggest and newest Academy then this is the perfect project for you!
