Volunteer – Application Form – The Migrant English Project

Please read the About us and Volunteering sections of this website and if you think you would like to join MEP complete and submit the application form below.

We do not have space to take on everyone who applies so please give us as much information as you can about why you want to join MEP. This helps us to decide who has the most to offer and the most to benefit from joining MEP.

When we receive your application we will:

Reply to let you know if we are currently taking on new volunteers and confirming whether we would like to take forward your application.
If we are interested to take forward your application, we will invite you to come to MEP for a short visit one Monday to meet people and see what we do.
If both sides decide to go ahead, we will then take up references.
If you are still interested, we will then ask you to attend a longer volunteer induction session so we can tell you about MEP, our principles and policies and talk about how you would like to be involved.

The application process takes several weeks. Unfortunately we can only consider volunteers who are able to come in every Monday and can commit to staying with us for at least six months.

Fields marked * are required.
