EUROPEAN LANGUAGE SPEAKING VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR EXCITING CHARITY OPPORTUNITY
The international children’s charity BeatBullying is offering an exciting opportunity for bilingual volunteers who are able to read and write English, along with either Spanish, Italian, Greek, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, or Czech. These volunteers will be online mentors for young people who are experiencing bullying.
Who are BeatBullying?
For the past 10 years, BeatBullying has been working with children and young people across the UK to stop bullying. We help young people who experience bullying to support each other, and change the attitudes and behaviour of those who engage in bullying behaviour. One of the ways we help young people is via our website, www.beatbullying.org, and later this year, we will be opening Spanish, Italian, Greek, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian and Czech versions of this site.
The Opportunity
To support these sites, we need volunteers who can give 2 hours a week at a time and place that suits them to be online mentors. No experience is necessary and full training and support will be provided. All we ask is that you are confident speaking and writing one of the above languages.
