Education Volunteer (Presenter)
Without incredible donors we couldn't save lives. Our Education Volunteer (Presenter) makes sure potential lifesavers know exactly what they're signing up for, by delivering our education programme, The Hero Project.
We are looking for people who are positive about young people and believe that they can make a difference. Our Education Volunteers deliver inspiring presentations to young people aged 16+ in a variety of settings from schools and sixth forms to colleges and youth groups (either in person or online). These presentations inspire students by showing them that they have the potential to help save a life.
Our presentations aren't a hard sell, but they educate young people about stem cell, blood and organ donation and encourage them to make an informed decision about donation based on facts, not myths!
If you are comfortable with public speaking, enjoy volunteering in a variety of settings and are committed to helping educate the next generation about saving lives, then this could be the role for you.
