Even before the impact of COVID-19, the education disadvantage gap, between pupils eligible for free school meals and their better off peers, was particularly acute in the West Midlands. Disproportionate learning loss during the pandemic means they need your help now more than ever.
By supporting City Year West Midlands you’ll reach pupils across the region who need help most and enable our inspirational young volunteers to gain experience and skills that will help them in a difficult labour market. Every contribution makes a difference - thank you.
Our impact is only made possible by the organisations and people who partner with us. Collaboration can lead to once in a lifetime opportunities for the pupils we support and invaluable career development opportunities for our City Year Mentors. And we know the benefits go both ways - our supporters tell us how rewarding their engagement is.
“What amazing young people we have in our society! Mentoring a City Year volunteer has given me the belief that I have valuable career experience that can help young people understand their options and choose their pathways, and it's increased my commitment to supporting our young people."
Elaine Baker National Grid and City Year corporate mentor
