GoodWork

Our incredible volunteers are the backbone of GoodWork, helping us support many more young people than we could otherwise. Over the past few weeks, we've been working with some of our superstar returning volunteers, who've been supporting us to interview candidates for our new mentoring programme. All of these volunteers have been involved with our work for many months, giving their time to support our mission. We're so grateful that they keep coming back for more (or haven't yet blocked our emails - who knows?!). So a huge thank you to... ⭐ Taz Rasul ⭐ George Kalathil ⭐ Cathy Burns ⭐ Lori Bavetta ⭐ Heather Butler ⭐ Tom Lawrance ⭐ Ali Flower Please join us in sending some appreciation their way 👏 If you'd like to volunteer with GoodWork, make sure you're signed up to our volunteer mailing list here: https://lnkd.in/eynFc5cm

Congratulations to our colleague Zoë Morgan, who has been promoted to Senior Programme Officer at GoodWork. Zoë manages our new programme delivery, our youth engagement strategy and leads on impact evaluation across our programmes. She's an organisation wizard, Queen of the Notion task manager, expert emoji selector and all round lovely human. We're very lucky to have her in Team GoodWork 🤗 Congrats Zoë!

We spent a brilliant day at AMS on Friday with a group of young people from our ongoing programme. The AMS team facilitated workshops and hosted a panel discussion for our cohort, as part of their Global Day of Giving. Thank you for hosting us!
