  Eradicating racism through education, action and dialogue Home  
       
  “I always think that the real offenders at the half-way mark of the last century were the bystanders – all those people who let things happen because it didn’t affect them directly.”

JUMP  - JCORE's work with young people who are seeking asylum.
 
         
   
What is JUMP?  

The JUMP befriending scheme provides support for young people who are seeking asylum in the UK, and are living alone, separated from their families. Befrienders meet fortnightly with a child/ young person for the period of a year. Befriending may involve: 

·         Being someone to talk to.

·         Teaching practical life skills 

·         Helping a young person get to know London.    

·         Helping with English or homework

Volunteering Opportunities

We are currently looking for North London-based volunteers who are willing to 'befriend' a young refugee or asylum-seeker. We particularly welcome interest from male volunteers!

Volunteers commit to one year, and are given training prior to starting their befriending, as well as support for the duration of their involvement.
