How to get involved
Volunteer to inspire young people about the world of work!
Whatever your role in DHL, there is a way you can help make a difference with GoTeach. Our team provide full support, resources and briefings to every employee taking part, whether that’s supporting a session that takes one hour, half a day or a programme that requires a longer term commitment.

Susie Robinson“This is your opportunity to join hundreds of DHL employees and be a role model to young people in the communities where we work. Together with the leaders of each of the DHL UK divisions, I would like to encourage you to share your skills and experience through the GoTeach programme and help young people near you to prepare for the world of work. Thank you in advance for your support.”

Ways you can get involvedWhat is a Classroom Activity?
DHL employees can deliver 1 to 2 hour sessions in local schools to deliver one of our sessions. Before going into a classroom, all employees attend a briefing call with one of the Foundation team and will answer any questions you may have. We usually have 2-4 volunteers delivering a session so you are not expected to deliver these alone.
What is a Reading Programme?
In partnership with literacy charity Bookmark, DHL employees can support a child with their reading. You would deliver 30-minute, one-to-one reading sessions to a 5-10 year old child who needs help with their reading. Sessions take place online, either twice a week for 6 weeks or once a week for 12 weeks, fitting around your schedule.
What is a Site Visit?
DHL employees can host young people for an site visit at a DHL site. This often includes a site tour, careers Q&A with DHL employees, and logistics-themed problem solving and teamwork activities. The Foundation will be on hand to support with the planning of these sessions. This opportunity is dependent on your location and the location of our partner schools.
Hint: Use your site’s training or meeting room space to run the activities provided in the toolkit. This can make the day fun, memorable and help reinforce learning.
