Joanne today announced that volunteers from her STEP UP programme would be working with young members of the London Tigers youth group to tutor them in preparation for their university and job applications in order to boost their chances of success.
STEP UP is a mentoring scheme designed to equip young people with the skills they will need to succeed in applying for places at university or their first job. Volunteers on the programme are all recent graduates, or current undergraduates, who can offer practical advice with UCAS applications and help to boost students’ presentation and communication skills through specialized training.
For those who do not already know, the London Tigers is a voluntary sports and education project based in Church Street. The Tigers' volunteers do a tremendous amount of work in the local community, and indeed throughout London, to provide opportunities for children and young adults in some of our most disadvantaged areas.
Joanne is excited about the prospect of working with the students at the Tigers:
“I have met many of the great students at the Tigers at various quiz nights and at their annual awards dinner. This partnership will increase their chances of succeeding in their chosen path.
Our team of volunteers are just as excited as I am. We have much hard work to do but it will be a very rewarding experience for all of us.”
