VTO provides free tutor support to children and young people aged 8-18, to help tackle the attainment gap in Scotland. We work with young people from diverse backgrounds including, but not limited to, those who are care experienced, those who speak English as an additional language or those faced with perceived barriers to learning.

Volunteers from a range of diverse backgrounds and experiences are welcome.
