The Benefits of Volunteering with Stand Together Network (STN)

Joining STN as a volunteer brings a multitude of rewards:

Multilingual Volunteer Contributions at STN

At Stand Together Network (STN), our volunteers play a vital role in enhancing our services, particularly through our interpretation service. Many of our volunteers are bilingual, fluently speaking various community languages such as Arabic, Turkish, French, and several North African languages. This linguistic diversity greatly benefits our beneficiaries who may face language barriers.

Additionally, as mentors, these volunteers are instrumental in helping our beneficiaries develop essential skills. They offer guidance in improving English language proficiency, navigating computer and social media platforms, and even preparing for the British citizenship exam. This multifaceted support from our volunteers not only aids in practical skill development but also fosters a sense of community and belonging among those we serve.

We are in search of highly motivated, self-starting individuals capable of independent initiative. STN is calling for inspirational and multi-skilled volunteers to join our vibrant community.
