Description
Today more than 400 volunteers are involved each year, contributing an average of 1200 hours a month to our wide range of programmes.
Volunteers significantly enhance the capacity of our services. Simply put, we can do far more with the help of volunteers than would be possible without them – volunteers provide the Toynbee Hall team with increased talent, passion and drive.
At Toynbee Hall volunteers are provided with opportunities for personal development. We encourage volunteers to acquire and develop skills, gain experience relevant to employment, broaden their range of social contacts and take-up appropriate training and accreditation opportunities.
We have a wide range of volunteering opportunities available and these are changing all the time.
Internships
Toynbee Hall's Internship Programme is available to London-based graduates and undergraduates who are unemployed or under-employed and are keen to benefit from an experience that will help prepare them for the workplace.
Residential Volunteering
The Residential Volunteer Programme at Toynbee Hall provides a unique opportunity for a small community of 15 active volunteers to live on-site for one year.
