The Access Project has clear goals: improving attainment and increasing access to top universities. This means that every year our partner companies can easily measure the impact that their volunteers have had. Every term we also report in detail on what interventions we have delivered, and carry out qualitative surveys.
We take advantage of graduates’ subject knowledge and teaching ability so that their volunteering efforts have the maximum possible impact.
Our main volunteering opportunity is one-to-one tuition.
We have a dedicated member of our staff in each of our partner schools to coordinate the programme. This means that our work is properly embedded in the school, and we can effectively support the volunteers.
