JOIN THE JACARI STUDENT COMMITTEE 2023/24

Join the Jacari Bristol student committee for 2023-24! Be part of the amazing team that organises events, recruits volunteers, raises funds, and lots more. 

 

Our student committee is key to building a community of volunteers passionate about tackling educational inequality in Bristol and beyond. 

What will the time commitment be? 

Joining the student committee will involve attending a committee meeting every fortnight and working with a team on events and activities. Commitment will vary throughout the year. 

What is Jacari?

 

Jacari is an award-winning charity providing free tutoring and extracurricular activities for migrant, asylum-seeking, and refugee children in Bristol and Oxford who have English as an Additional Language (EAL) and are struggling at school. Learn more about our history here.
