The board’s first point of action will be to recruit new volunteers.

A Young Enterprise volunteer may take a number of roles, whether mentoring a student business in ongoing weekly sessions or speaking to a larger group about their area of expertise at a one off event.

There is a volunteering opportunity for anyone who is determined to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs, no matter how many hours they can spare.
