How can you get involved

Through our partnership with the EY Foundation, we work closely to onboard up to 20 young people onto one of the programmes each academic year.

In 2026, we will deliver Your Futures to 15 young people in July. To enable this to run smoothly, we require many volunteers!

Would you like to support during our 2026 programme?

Your Futures will be delivered to 15 young people 30 June - 10 July 2026 please get in touch if you would like to volunteer.

Volunteering on these programmes is both impactful and rewarding, you really get to know the young people, watch them grow and become the role models they need to take the next step, whether that be into further education, apprenticeships, internships or employment.

We require a number of volunteers:

• Insight speakers: Share your career journey, any challenges/barriers you faced and overcome - top tips!
• Mock interview panellists: Join us to be part of a informal mock interview panel.
• Dragons Den Challenge Panellist: Be part of an exciting panel to judge the young people on their Dragons Den proposal!
• Career Coach: Can you commit to one hour a month for ten months to mentor the young people after the programme finishes, you will be required to:
  • Complete NSPCC Training (online).
  • Complete enhanced DBS check (EY Foundation will support with this).
  • Attend EY Foundation 2-hour online training session.
  • Deliver 10 x 1 hour monthly coaching sessions (preferred approach face-to-face).
• 3 Days - Business Hosts (work experience): We are looking for a number of Warwick departments to host young people on a short work experience. This role is to provide a supportive, welcoming environment to give a young person meaningful exposure to the world of work. As a Business Experience Host, you will be the young person’s main point of contact across their placement and will assign tasks, set a business challenge/case study/research project relevant to your organisation; organise introductions to a range of your colleagues in different teams and provide them with constructive feedback across their placement. You will need to complete an Enhanced DBS (Organised by EY Foundation).
