Our Education Team is central to our mission — and we're looking for passionate volunteers to help us deliver workshops, create educational resources, and raise awareness both online and in person.
What difference will you make?
* Raising Awareness & Knowledge By delivering training sessions and workshops, volunteers will give young people, parents, and professionals the tools to spot the signs of grooming and exploitation early. 2. Empowering Communities By educating schools, youth groups, and the wider public, volunteers help communities learn how to protect and support vulnerable children and young people. They equip people with practical steps for prevention, safeguarding, and reporting. 3. Creating Resources with Lasting Value Volunteers help design toolkits, handouts, and digital content that schools, families, and agencies can use long after a session ends. 4. Preventing Exploitation Before It Happens Through education and awareness, volunteers help reduce the risk of exploitation in communities by teaching early warning signs, online safety, and where to get help. This proactive approach can save lives and protect children from harm. 5. Strengthening the Charity's Voice & Reach By educating online (social media, blogs, campaigns), volunteers help amplify Emerge Worldwide's message to a much wider audience, influencing policy, practice, and public opinion. 6. Personal & Community Transformation Volunteers become role models and advocates, showing children and young people that their lives matter and they have support.
