Home · For Volunteers

Use your expertise. Change how a generation sees money.

You already have the knowledge. We give you the classroom, the lesson plan and the support to pass it on, in as little as one session a term.

Who we're looking for

Professionals who can make money make sense.

You don't need teaching experience. You need real-world knowledge and the confidence to share it. If you work in finance, business or a related field and you can hold a room of teenagers for an hour, you can make a genuine difference.

We'll give you a prepared lesson, a clear curriculum and the backing of the board. You bring the stories, the credibility and the enthusiasm that turn a topic into something a young person remembers.

What's involved

A big impact for a small commitment.

One lesson a term

Deliver as few as one session per term, or more if you'd like. You choose what fits around your work.

Lesson plans provided

No planning from scratch. You receive prepared, curriculum-mapped materials for every module.

Never on your own

A school staff member is always in the room. You focus on delivering, not managing the classroom.

The process

From application to the classroom.

  1. Apply

    Complete the application form below. It tells us about your background, motivation and availability.

  2. Short screening

    You'll present a lesson to one or two board members. It's a friendly check that the content lands well and stays engaging, and it keeps our standards consistent.

  3. Onboarding & Code of Conduct

    We share the volunteer Code of Conduct and safeguarding basics, and get you set up and ready.

  4. Matched to a school

    We pair you with a school and send a simple one-pager: where to go, who to ask for and what time.

  5. Deliver & feed back

    You deliver the session with staff present, then share how it went so we keep improving the programme.

Good to know

Honest about the commitment.

  • Safeguarding comes first. You'll never be alone with students, and staff are always present
  • A valid DBS is ideal, and "in progress" is fine when you apply
  • We ask for professionalism: turn up prepared, on time and dressed for a school
  • This is volunteer-led and community-based, so travel and delivery costs aren't reimbursed
