Volunteering & Training with New Routes
All New Routes volunteers are required to do a half-day New Communities Awareness training. For those who would like to volunteer as mentors and befrienders, a further day and a half of training develops the skills needed for this one-to-one support.
Upcoming training dates
We are currently operating a waiting list for volunteer training, and will be prioritising the recruitment of ESOL teachers for online classes and mentors/befrienders. Due to restraints imposed by COVID, training is currently infrequent.
If you would like to volunteer in one of these capacities, please email Amélie at development@newroutes.org.uk to be sent a volunteer application form and to be added to the training waiting list.
Please note:
- To volunteer as an English teacher, you must have a qualification in teaching English as a foreign language.
- Mentoring/befriending requires a six month commitment.
