Volunteering at ReDI Aarhus

Become a part of the ReDI community and make an impact!

As a volunteer teacher at ReDI School Aarhus you support women with refugee and migrant backgrounds in creating new opportunities for themselves. You get the chance to shape and design the coursework in close cooperation with your co-teachers and learners. We promise you a lot of fun and the opportunity to build your social and educational skills.

Help our students build a brighter future

 Our mission at ReDI School is supported by the tech community in Aarhus, who teach, mentor and support our students along the way. 

You can volunteer in many ways: you can join as a teacher to teach the students digital skills, you can join as a career coach to help our students to understand the danish market, or you can join in other ways, e.g. by providing a guidance session, doing a workshop or event. We are open for ideas!

    • You believe that people have an unlimited capacity to evolve and learn.

    • You are looking for a new challenge and an opportunity to grow.

    • You want to make a difference as a part of a committed community that empowers.

    • ReDI offers a great opportunity to network within the Danish tech industry.

    • We have a diverse community with great people from all around the world!

  • Volunteer Teacher:

    As a teacher at ReDI School, you co-create together with other volunteer teachers. You help design the curriculum, plan classes, make material and teach the students. ​

    Career Coaching:

    As a volunteer career coach you mentor and coach the students individually. You are matched with the student based on your preferences and background and might even have two or more students in a coaching group. Group sessions can work well, because students can also benefit from each other's career experiences and network.

    What does the coaching programme entail?

    Together we have coaching training each semester where we learn about communication and steering the conversation. A few weeks after you are matched with the students and have the first introduction meeting. During the next 6 months you meet regularly with your students and talk about their personal and professional development. We offer a curriculum and structured programme, but you are welcome to adjust it to your own preferences. We recommend at least a monthly meeting and keeping in touch with each other in between sessions. The students are in charge of doing the homework, thinking work, and taking charge of their own development, but the coach motivates and facilitates this process.

    At the end of the semester we have a graduation ceremony and celebrate your hard work and dedication to the programme.
