Opportunities for young people
It's never too soon to start changing the world. Young people can do anything other Oxfam supporters do to fight poverty - and have just as much fun. Here are some activities with a special appeal to people under 25.
Out and about
Fancy an amazing festival experience next summer? Oxfam goes to some of the biggest and best UK music festivals, and we'd love to take you with us. Join our 5,000-strong team of volunteers: stewards, campaigners and Oxfam shop volunteers. 18 or over only.
Join in with Oxjam, Oxfam's month-long music festival. It runs all through October with hundreds of events around the UK, all organised by volunteers who know and love their local music scene, all raising money to save lives around the world.
As an Oxfam campaigns volunteer you'll have the power to influence politicians, businesses and your friends and family to improve people's lives around the world. There are Oxfam groups all over the country and they're always looking for fresh ideas and energy.
Aged 16-23? Join an Oxfam Youth Board and you'll get an insider's experience of a leading UK charity. With an interest in global issues, you'll play a key part in developing fun campaigning projects aimed at making the world more fair.
We're currently recruiting new Youth Board Members aged 16-23.
At school
Have Oxfam's School Speakers to visit your school to run a series of workshops, helping you learn about global poverty, think about what you can do to make a positive difference, then plan and take action!
Start an Oxfam Youth Action Group in your school and we'll give you materials and support to help you make your voice heard on global poverty issues. Our regional Youth & Schools staff can help you get started.
We offer a huge range of ideas, resources and support for teachers to bring Oxfam to your school, so you can make a positive difference in the world as you learn about it. Let your teacher know about the great resources available.
For Key Stage 2 and 3 pupils, Oxfam Water Week gives you the opportunity to learn about global issues in school, develop your skills and values as active global citizens, and make a difference to the world. As you learn about water vulnerability, we'll inspire you to take action!
