Some people choose to volunteer with their local branch, helping to organise events and fundraise for our work. Most of our volunteers support the ESU by judging at one of our competitions.
As a volunteer judge, you will work with fellow volunteers to provide positive and constructive feedback to young people involved in competitions that take place both online and in-person. However you choose to help, you will join a friendly network of volunteers committed to supporting young people.
