    About this opportunity:Join the Fife Adult Learning Project as a Volunteer!

    The Fife Adult Learning Project offers a personalised service to learners and befriendees, each with unique goals and interests. As a volunteer, you can engage in a variety of meaningful activities, while supporting a learner or befriendee one-to-one, including assisting with literacy, numeracy, form-filling, communication, and digital skills, helping learners achieve qualifications, developing learning resources, and contributing to their advertising efforts by recording videos, taking photos, and sharing your story.

    Volunteering with Lead provides numerous benefits, from meeting new people and developing skills, to enhancing your CV and self-development. You can make a tangible impact on reducing inequality by widening access to learning and enjoy flexible volunteering opportunities that fit around your other commitments.

    Join them today and be a part of a supportive and impactful community!
