Make a difference. Volunteer.
Start with yes.
If you are interested in making a difference by donating your time or expertise, there are lots of ways you can volunteer on Grit programmes or to support the charity more broadly.
It all starts with a willingness to be part of a solution that challenges all of us to take ownership of the world we want to see.
Get set.
Grit volunteer roles include coaching, supporting events, or you may have your own idea about how you could donate your unique skill/expertise to Grit.
As a Grit volunteer you will receive training in our unique methodology which raises your self-awareness, enhancing the contribution you make to others.
Join us.
Our volunteers often repeat their involvement with us several times over, many have been involved for ten years or more.
Why? Because Grit volunteers not only contribute a vast amount, they benefit enormously too through their own training and supervision, as well as the rewards of enabling transformation to take place.
“I feel that I am contributing a solution to a social need – not just in the community in which I worked, but the skills I have gained now benefit a wider community if I continue to practice them. I couldn’t have guessed I would feel this way. It’s much better than I expected. I feel I have made a positive mark on humankind (however small) that cannot be undone. It’s so inspiring.”
David volunteered as a Grit Coach in 2020.
I really enjoyed the coaching training. It was very interactive … a very diverse group with a whole different range of lived experiences from quite different communities across the country. I learnt a lot.
At first [my pupil] hardly turned up for any of the coaching sessions. He was angry, talked about how the teachers all picked on him, how he’d been kicked out of Quran Classes, how the whole world was against him.
Every week I sent an email just to say ‘hi’, leaving the door open, encouraging him to come along to the next session, not to worry about missing the last one….
