Volunteer, Mentor, Partner

He built people one at a time. The work needs more hands than it needs money — and much of it can be done from anywhere.

Ways to help

  • Mentor

    Take one young person seriously for a year. It is the thing he did more than anything else, and the thing that needs the most hands.

  • Tutor or train teachers

    Teach a subject, or help teachers learn to mentor and form character rather than only deliver a syllabus.

  • Digitise the archive

    Photographs, letters and recordings degrade. Scanning, cataloguing and transcribing can be done from anywhere in the world.

  • Serve the community

    Outreach, elder care and school projects, run with the communities they serve rather than for them.

  • Partner

    Schools, congregations and organisations that want to work alongside the foundation.

  • Professional advice

    Legal, accounting, safeguarding and charity governance. A young foundation needs this more than it needs money.

Optional. Include the country code.
Some roles can be done from anywhere.
Not required. Many volunteers never met him.

What happens next

  1. 01Someone from the foundation reads your application and replies.
  2. 02You have a conversation about where your time would count most.
  3. 03For anything involving children: references and a safeguarding check.
  4. 04Placement, with someone to report to and a clear ask.
Safeguarding is not a formality. Nobody is placed with a student before checks and references are complete. The same standard applies to volunteers overseas as to those in Nigeria.
