EY Foundation is looking for volunteers across the UK
EY Foundation is a pioneering corporate foundation that tackles the barriers to employment faced by young people from low-income backgrounds. Through our programmes, we help young people unlock their potential and succeed in the workplace.
We can only do our work with the support of volunteers who offer their time and skills to assist our programmes. Just a small amount of time can make a big difference to the future career aspirations of a young person or the ambitions of a social entrepreneur. Volunteer with the EY Foundation and use your experience to make a positive impact.
We will offer full training and support to ensure your volunteering experience is enjoyable and rewarding.
