We are currently seeking volunteers near to Godalming to support our Company Programme at King Edward's School in Witley. This exciting initiative gives students the chance to set up and run their own real business over the course of an academic year, guided by volunteer business mentors.

Why Volunteer?

• Make a direct impact on young people’s futures.
• Share your expertise in business, marketing, finance, or leadership.
• Build community connections and support local education.
• Flexible commitment: just a few hours a month, with full support from Young Enterprise.

What you'll be doing
- Coaching, mentoring, and positively challenging a group of young people running their own business.
- Being a supportive and encouraging role model.
- Attending regular company meetings within the school environment (roughly once every fortnight). 
- Keeping a group of students on track and supporting them with more complicated tasks (i.e. opening a business bank account). 

Whether you're an individual professional or part of a team looking for meaningful volunteering opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.

What skills do I need?

• Patient, encouraging and open-minded
• Comfortable in the presence of young people (but no specific experience required)
• Able to commit to attending regular face to face student company meetings within a school
• Able to communicate appropriately with young people
• Open to learning new things, to challenge and in turn be challenged
• Comfortable in the use of basic IT as the role involves using our online platform for Company Programme
• Volunteers do not necessarily require experience of running a business in order to enjoy and make a big impact in this role
