WORKERS' EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Education, employment and training

We are a leading adult education charity with a legacy that stretches back over a hundred years, having been founded back in 1903.

Our mission is to bring adult education within reach of everyone who needs it, fighting inequality and promoting social justice.

Today, we continue to empower adults by bringing great teaching to local communities across England and Scotland, reaching tens of thousands of learners each year.

We believe every adult from a variety of backgrounds should have access to education and its benefits right on their doorstep.

Volunteers are at the heart of our work, and are vital to supporting the growth of adult education across England and Scotland. From organising courses through our branches and Scottish local associations to supporting our learners in the classroom and helping to find and share good new stories from across the WEA.

We currently have around 750 volunteers who take on a variety of roles for us. Our volunteer roles match your skills, interests and personal development goals.
