join us
We are looking for people to join our team of dedicated volunteers.
We Are 100% Volunteer Led.
Since 1995, ACAP has contributed to significant increases in educational attainment in Bradford and West Yorkshire by organising volunteers to address the educational and social needs of young people in our community through mentoring, advocacy and support. We operate with 100% volunteer capacity and do not have any paid staff. By encouraging community volunteering, we are giving local people opportunities to provide and manage projects that are user led and provide solutions to meet young peoples needs. At the same time, volunteers get to develop key skills that will help them to improve their employment prospects.
