During this uncertain time, it is more important than ever to connect students in our communities with inspiring volunteers from our business community, to raise student aspirations and to give them opportunities to explore their future pathways. We also want to give our volunteers the opportunity to continue making a positive difference in their communities.
Please help us to raise funds that will enable us to adapt our services so that we can facilitate interactive webinars with business leaders and young people while schools and colleges are closed.
To help us pay for the software licences needed to provide student-employer webinars booked by teachers that are incorporated into the remote learning curriculum, keeping students stimulated even though they are not in the classroom.
To help us pay for social media training for our staff who will be marketing the webinars to audiences far and wide so that more students ‘dial in’ than could ever be accommodated within the physical confines of a classroom setting.
To help pay for the on-going running costs which include communicating these changes to educators and volunteers, customer service support, webinar support and on-going system maintenance.
** Your donation will go directly towards funding Founders4Schools work to adapt our services during the schools closures and beyond. In the unlikely event that the funds raised exceed Founders4Schools funding requirements for this appeal, your gift will go to support our on-going running costs. **
Founders4Schools helps young people connect with job creators and request work experience in subjects they are passionate about. Two thirds of young people without work experience are unlikely to be successful in their applications.
More than 1 Million jobs are available in the tech, science and engineering sectors alone. After a single Founders4Schools event 3x more students choose GCSE subjects related to sectors that will be in high demand as soon as they leave school.
