Volunteer Activity Assistant

What You'll Do: 

You will support the delivery, set-up and administration of inclusive and enjoyable physical activity sessions that help adults build confidence, routine, and enjoyment in being active. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys encouraging others and creating welcoming spaces, particularly for people who may feel nervous or unsure about physical activity. You do not need to be an expert athlete — enthusiasm, empathy, and a supportive attitude are what matter most.

Why You'll Love It: 

Volunteering with the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation is an exciting opportunity for university students to make a real impact while building valuable skills for the future. By supporting programmes that use football and sport to improve education, health, and employment outcomes, you’ll be helping young people and local communities thrive. At the same time, you’ll gain hands-on experience in areas like leadership, teamwork, coaching, and event delivery — all great additions to your CV. You’ll also become part of a passionate Spurs community, meet like-minded people, and enjoy unique football-linked experiences that make volunteering genuinely fun and rewarding. If you want to boost your employability while giving back in a meaningful way, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
