Peer Motivators

During the summer holidays we're providing hundreds of amazing free taster courses to inspire thousands of young people aged 11- 25 across London, but to do this, we needed help! We searched for and found some incredible volunteers to become our Peer Motivators for 2011.

OK, so what is the role of a Peer Motivator?

Peer Motivators are the magic ingredient to the Futureversity Summer Programme. After a 5-day intense training programme, the Peer Motivators volunteer full time for 4 weeks and:

• Give a warm welcome to everyone on their Futureversity course
• Ensure the right course equipment is in the right place at the right time
• Take registers, run icebreakers and ensure all students enjoy their course and are motivated

This sounds interesting, but what's in it for me?

As a Peer Motivator you'll receive free, top class training to help you in your role and have the opportunity to accredit your experience through NOCN - this can be a great help towards accessing further education or employment. During the programme you'll be treated to a number of social events including a day at a theme park to celebrate your achievement. In addition, you won't be put out of pocket because lunch and travel expenses are reimbursed.

Awesome - let me get my diary!
