Dear Parents,

Preparing for the next step in your child’s educational journey can feel daunting, but with the summer planned you can help reduce this stress for your child. Yes, they should definitely have some time off after working so hard but with some much time to fill here are some ideas of how you can keep them productive. Today we are going to deep dive into 3 options.

🌍 Volunteering Ventures

Summer is the perfect time for your child to gain valuable experience and make a difference in their community. We asked our community and found that most children would be keen to volunteer if it helped their CV and chances of getting a job in the future.

Here are some fantastic local volunteering opportunities suitable for 16-year-olds:

• Community Youth Programmes: Many councils offer youth volunteering programmes. These can involve everything from helping at local events to supporting community projects. It's a fantastic way for your child to feel more connected to their community.

• Hospital Volunteering: The NHS runs several youth volunteering schemes that allow young people to work in various departments. It's an excellent opportunity for those interested in healthcare careers.

• Environmental Projects: Organisations focused on environmental conservation often seek young volunteers. Activities might include tree planting, beach clean-ups, and wildlife protection. It's a great way for teens to learn about sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Volunteering isn't just about giving back. It's about growth.

When your child volunteers, they gain practical experience and develop critical skills like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. These skills are invaluable for academic success and future employment.

Plus, volunteering looks fantastic on college applications and CVs, showing a commitment to making a difference and the ability to manage time effectively.

Encourage your teen to embark on a volunteering venture this summer. It's an investment in their future and a chance to make unforgettable memories.
