Become a volunteer

Develop new skills and make a difference in your community - volunteer with us today

Volunteers are an integral part of the Learning Community at ELATT

We’re an award-winning education charity, and since we started in 1984, we’ve supported hundreds of students to better their lives through employment.

Volunteering with us gives you the chance to learn how an education charity works and support students and the running of our organisation while improving your own employability.

And we are looking for people like you.

Volunteering at ELATT

We have a range of volunteering opportunities available across ELATT in Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Brent and Ealing.

Our main volunteering opportunities are as a Volunteer Teaching Assistant or as a Volunteer Administration Assistant, as well as opportunities to support students through our Industry Partners.  We also sometimes have other positions available in Fundraising, Marketing and IT support, so please contact us if you’d like to find out more.

Our volunteering opportunities are open to anyone who wants to gain some teaching or administration experience in an informal setting or simply if you would like to contribute by volunteering your spare time.
