Stækkaðu framtíðina is seeking a diverse group of volunteers to inspire a diverse group of students.
Some youngsters need role models with similar backgrounds, perhaps from their local community, or sharing the same ethnicity or gender. Others need to meet someone working in a field they never knew existed or that perfectly aligns with their own passions.
Different perspectives on education and careers will always inspire young people, broaden their horizons, and ignite their excitement for the future.
Signing up is easy! Using innovative technology, we connect you with schools in your area or beyond. Our volunteers come from all walks of life—from pilots to programmers, singers to builders—ready to share their experiences with young people.
We’re looking for diverse individuals with varied backgrounds who can give just one hour a year, whether in person or online. You choose the age group, and a teacher will support you in planning the visit. If you have more time, you can also offer mentoring or internships.
You decide how many visits you take on, and they can be in-person or virtual. Get involved and be an inspiration for the next generation!
Sharing your experiences with young people is both enjoyable and fulfilling. It enhances your communication skills, increases job satisfaction, and offers a new perspective on your own career. By sharing your journey, you highlight the importance of education and help the next generation find their way.
You can have a significant impact, whether you share your educational and career path in person or online. Young people often have a limited view of their opportunities, and their role models are shaped early on. You can help them break down stereotypes and broaden their horizons.
It’s a privilege to have diverse role models, and we are committed to ensuring that every child in Iceland has access to this privilege.
