Volunteering
We're a small team of passionate individuals, determined to support and empower displaced young people to know they are more than their status, and help them find their place within their local community.

None of our work would be possible without our team of brilliant and committed volunteers. Last year, our volunteers donated 2093 hours to supporting our projects and events; leading English language sessions, offering casework support, mentoring young people, searching and applying for funding, and so much more.
Our volunteers make a huge impact in the lives of the young people they work alongside, whether through casework, teaching English, mentoring, running activities at our hubs and sports sessions or applying for funding opportunities behind the scenes. |
Sofia has been volunteering at our Guildford Hub since February 2022. This year, we invited her to be one of our first ever guest editors, sharing in her own words what it's like to work alongside our young people as a Big Leaf volunteer.
