Padua Alumni Volunteering Scheme
Our vision is to ensure that every Paduan student’s start in life does not limit their future. To ensure every young Paduan student has access to the information, advice, insights and connections needed to give them confidence about the future.
Our mission is to improve students’ motivation, confidence and life chances.
1) Ghana has a deep social mobility problem.
2) More than half of pupils in the school come from economically changed backgrounds and don’t know anyone in a job they would really like to do. We know this affects young people’s perception of their own ability, their expectations of future success, and the extent to which they value their school work.
3) Only one in ten children from a low-income background is likely to become a high earner as an adult. People’s experience and opportunities are closely linked to the status of their parents and the area they grow up in.
4) Meeting former students who have gone on to do well in life, helps to inspire them, change their perceptions, boost their confidence and motivation, and helps to transform their life chances.
5) Access to relatable role models broadens students’ horizons, helping them to imagine a world beyond their own. Having schooled in the same school and sometimes even grown up in the same community, former students are ideal
volunteers to be such role models.
