Make a difference. Volunteer.
Start with yes.
If you are interested in making a difference by donating your time or expertise, there are lots of ways you can volunteer on Grit programmes or to support the charity more broadly.
It all starts with a willingness to be part of a solution that challenges all of us to take ownership of the world we want to see.
Get set.
Grit volunteer roles include coaching, supporting events, or you may have your own idea about how you could donate your unique skill/expertise to Grit.
As a Grit volunteer you will receive training in our unique methodology which raises your self-awareness, enhancing the contribution you make to others.

The first lad was very bright but he was losing his way. He was always in detention. He was always in trouble with teachers, disruptive in class, talking back…
It took a few sessions for him to open up. All he really needed was someone to talk to, someone to listen to him and not judge him. He just needed a bit of steer, someone on his side, someone alongside him to think about other possibilities, about alternative strategies…”
