Leeds Law Society Education Programme

Leeds Law Society and Ahead Partnership are inviting law firms and legal professionals from across Leeds to take part in a programme of activity with local primary schools to help young people understand the variety of roles within the sector, meet role models from law and develop key skills for employment.  

Leeds Law Society Education Programme takes place for the tenth year in June and July 2023 delivering an exciting series of World of Work days that firms and individuals can sponsor and take part in.

Why take part?

Over 4,000 young people have benefited from this programme to date with 120 law firms, and 99% of the young people involved said it improved their awareness of the types of jobs they could do after school.

There are opportunities for everyone to volunteer their support and sponsorship through this programme. Your involvement will help young people in a really practical way and help them to envision a more positive future.

The programme allows businesses to play their part in creating a more equal and inclusive society, whilst reaching out to potential talent and the unique skills and perspectives that young people can bring to the sector.

All the activities in the programme are organised by Ahead Partnership with support and resources that help your colleagues get involved quickly and safely.

How does it work?

Once signed up, we'll arrange your World of Work Day at a local primary school, fully brief your colleague volunteers and provide all the resources your volunteers and the teacher need on the day to engage the pupils in finding out about the diversity of careers in law. 

We make taking part easy for your colleagues and an Ahead Partnership Project Manager is on hand should you have any questions.
