293: How to utilise your alumni with Future First

Future First are the UK education charity helping young people in state schools and colleges broaden their horizons by connecting them with former pupils. Their mission is to see every state school and college supported by a thriving and engaged alumni community, which improves students’ motivation, confidence and life chances.Future First provides schools and colleges with the technology, tools and support needed to mobilise their past pupil networks. Alumni can support the whole school community and delivery of school improvement plans, including meeting Gatsby Benchmarks, Baker Clause and PHSE goals.For too many young people, their start in life is limiting their future. They do not have access to relatable role models to help them understand what they can achieve, nor the networks, knowledge and tools to help them to get there.Alumni can act as relatable role models, showing students a world beyond their current experience and expectations: a future that could be theirs.Hear more from Programme Innovations Director - Leon WardWebsitewww.futurefirst.org.ukSocial Media Information@futurefirstorgShow SponsorThe National Association for Primary Education speaks for young children and all who live and work with them.
