Education Volunteer (East London Explorers)

Being an Explorers Volunteer is a rewarding experience. The role is full of variety, flexibility and a lot of fun! We inspire children and young people about our canals and rivers, using the waterways as a tool to build life skills, raise aspirations and connect children with the great outdoors.

We give you full training and provide resources for leading groups of children, with a number of training days and team meetings. You will have the support of a Learning & Skills Co-ordinator as well as the other volunteers in your team. We reimburse you for all travel costs.

You will need to be able to volunteer flexibly to respond to group requests, committing to 3 or 4 activities a month (usually during school hours and term-time). We mainly work with schools along the Regents Canal & Lee Navigation, hosting guided tours at Limehouse Basin, the Olympic Park and Enfield Lock.
