International Volunteer Day at ELATT: Empowering Londoners

It's International Volunteer Day 2023, and at ELATT, we want to celebrate the incredible contributions of our volunteers. Today, we shine a light on the diverse and impactful volunteering opportunities available at ELATT, inviting Londoners to join us in making a meaningful difference.

The Essence of Volunteering at ELATT

ELATT, located in the vibrant heart of London, is a centre of learning and personal development. We offer a variety of fulfilling volunteering roles. Our volunteer opportunities range from administrative to teaching assistant support to innovative roles within our Wellbeing Service. Each volunteer at ELATT plays a vital role in our mission to empower individuals through education and support.

You can volunteer as an Administrative Assistant which is an exciting opportunity for someone to gain valuable administration experience in a dynamic London charity, supporting the day-to-day work of ELATT community projects.

You can also volunteer as a Teaching Assistant, and this is open to anyone who wants to gain some teaching experience in an informal setting or someone who simply wants to contribute by volunteering their spare time. If you are interested in supporting adults with English as a second language, this is a great opportunity.

Additionally, our Wellbeing Service (WBS) provides volunteering opportunities for those with basic IT skills and an interest in health and wellbeing. Our WBS volunteers are crucial in running workshops and supporting our Wellbeing Service, directly impacting our students' lives.
