Trapped in Zone OnePlease note: we are still taking sign-ups for this programme, which originally started in 2022. We are now looking for contributors for a new part of the original project that will be starting later in 2023! You will be contacted as soon as we have more details about the activity you'll be required for. Please ignore the date on this listing.
What's involved
Moving On is a project from Trapped in Zone One and The Utilize Project that started in 2022, based in E14. Aimed at young adults aged 16-30, the project is designed to improve skills, boost confidence and encourage young people who are seeking work, or looking to make a new career choice.
We're looking for GoodGym members to offer one-off guidance or personal experience in the form of a short talk, on a wide variety of subjects, including:
1) The career benefits of volunteering.
2) Social media in the workplace (if you've got any social media experience, we'd love to hear from you!).
3) Writing and/or reading CVs (again, any experience at all would be helpful).
4) How to choose a career: did you know what you wanted to do from an early age, or did you 'end up' in your current career?
5) Any experience of being self employed.
What you need to know
The sessions will be led (independently) by Area Activator, Laura and Bablu Miah, of Trapped in Zone One, who will both be there on the day to support you.
The sessions will take place every Wednesday between 12-2, but you won't be required to stay for the whole session.
Sessions should start from Summer '23 but exact dates will be confirmed in due course. We will be in touch to let you know when sessions have started, and to discuss your availability.
This is a one-off Community Mission - it's not a weekly commitment!
Interested? Please sign-up and Laura will be in touch.
How are you getting there?

This is brilliant Laura, I will look out for your message.
Thanks Theresa! I will be in touch.
Hi Laura, would it be a short talk to one person or to a whole group of people?
And where it says 'writing or reading CVs', would you need someone to help to proof read the young people's CVs?
Hi Amelia, this would involve talking to a small group. CV guidance might involve sharing any experience you have on CV writing, and answering questions.
Hi Laura! I've signed up for the mission on Wednesday 28 June and would love to know a bit more about what you would need or like where it says "social media in the workplace", as I'd love to offer my support to the young people with this aspect. Thanks!
Hi Hetty, thanks for signing up! Will be in touch.
