Suggestions for work experience + volunteering needed

Have a quick google for your local archaeological unit! Mine was running small volunteer digs, especially through the summer, which are usually free and really good to put on an application! If not they will likely run lectures or community gatherings - every little helps when you are trying to get your foot in the door I'm currently doing my masters in Archaeology - please don't be afraid to ask any questions!!

Thank you! I’ve had a little look but unfortunately you have to be over 18 to volunteer in the digs 😢however I will contact them and see if they do anything else.

Hmmm perhaps have a look at smaller museums around where you are? Local museums will often take volunteers to help in the front of house.

When I applied they spent a lot of time asking about my reading, so perhaps find some books that you are super interested in and make notes so you don't forget! There is also always the EPQ in a relevant topic.

You could also ask within your school if you could help out as a language tutor for younger years, or an in class helper if you have free periods?

Also, it is important not to stress too much about this, especially right now! You have so much time yet and starting year 12 will provide you with more work than you have had before. Make sure that you still have time for yourself and that you don't burn out!

Thank you! There’s a Roman museum near me which I’ve emailed and the tutoring thing sounds like a really good idea!

Hi again! I was just wondering if you had any reading suggestions to do with archeology/ancient history? Thanks 😊

Hi, I’m going into year 12 next year and really need some suggestions of work, volunteering, essay competitions etc. that would be useful for applying for a scholarship for a degree at the University of Athens to study Archeology, History and Literature of Ancient Greece. The A-Levels I will be taking are Classics, French and Spanish and the scholarship requires good knowledge of languages so things relating to languages, archeology, and classics and that are located in North Yorkshire would be ideal.
