How to Apply

The first step on a journey of a lifetime…

If you are thinking about becoming a volunteer then we can’t wait to hear from you!

Who we are looking for?

Although experience of volunteering or working with children and/or teaching would be helpful, specific qualifications and experience are not essential.  Enthusiasm and adaptability are the key attributes we will be looking for in any volunteer.  If you have the right character and attitude you may be just who we are looking for.

We’ll give you honest feedback so, even if you’re not 100% sure yet, please apply and we can discuss things with you.

All volunteers must complete the standard VESL application form.  This tells us about your skills, experience, character and motivations. This information helps us to make sure you are matched to a suitable project. Applicants must be 18 or over – There is no upper age limit.

Completed application forms should be emailed to applications@vesl.org

Please check out our FAQ page for answers to some of the common questions we’re asked before people apply…

We are also happy to put you in touch with a past volunteer if you would like to find out about their experience of volunteering with VESL.

For more information, please

Once we receive your application we will be in contact to discuss your application and to invite you to an information and selection event.
