Lewisham
Alumni
Network
What we do
The Lewisham Alumni goal is to connect young people who live in the borough with young adults who have reached a level of personal success after leaving school. It will act as a network with the aim to advise and support young people in Lewisham who are making further higher education and or career choices and offer support with training and life skills they may need to take advantage of current and future opportunities.
As a collective our commitment is to share our stories with each other and young people to help create a culture of connection and communication between the current and previous generations. We will also endeavour to support Alumni members into positions of leadership within civic society and wider industries. Based on our availability this will be done by;
-
Visiting schools for assemblies and citizenship/PSHE days.
-
Running/supporting a life skills workshop with Curriculum 4 life.
-
Mentoring a young person through a partner organisation or informal with Young Advisors.
-
Supporting seasonal events and projects with the Young Mayors Team.
-
Attending a minimum of two meetings/activities a year to increase local communication.
-
Support the development of networking opportunities for young people and fellow members.
-
Signpost any work experience or enrichment opportunities to the young mayor team which will then share it with schools, PRUs and local youth networks.
-
Enrich local development through idea sharing with Lewisham council and increasing civic participation.
