Here you can read about the volunteer opportunities we offered at Movyans Skolyow Meythrin and Skol Veythrin Karenza.

Volunteering with MSM is more than a volunteering opportunity; it is the chance to take part in setting up the first bilingual Cornish-English preschool in Cornwall!

Being a small parent-led organisation, MSM relies on volunteers to achieve its goals. Therefore we need great people who love Cornwall’s language and culture and want to share their passion with children and their families. However, you don’t need to be a fluent Cornish speaker to volunteer with us!

MSM offer various exciting volunteering opportunities such as:

•  organising activities and excursions with the children and/or their families
•   translating promotional and administrative material into Cornish (e.g. website, policies, administrative documents)
•   organising fundraising events
•  helping with e.g. grants application, marketing, accountancy.

Why volunteer with MSM?

MSM offers a great opportunity to learn and speak Cornish with other Cornish speakers in a friendly atmosphere. It is also the opportunity to share your love and knowledge about Cornwall with young children and their families. And for Early Years practitioners or students it is a unique opportunity to approach preschool education from a bilingual and innovative point of view.
