Charity background
The Integrated AlumNI was founded in 2013 by a group of past pupils and supporters who saw the value in establishing a network of those who had attended an integrated school. As the product of integrated education, they can speak first-hand to the value that integrated education has provided. Our purpose, as defined in our constitution, is to promote Integrated Education and its benefits within Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom, and to support current pupils and alumni.
We are a registered charity (NIC106805) in Northern Ireland.
What we offer you
As a Board of Trustees, our primary goal is to support each other in achieving our shared mission, vision and values. We believe that professional development is an essential part of achieving our goals, and we strive to provide opportunities for growth and learning to all our members. If you feel that your volunteering experience with us can be used to support your professional development, we welcome this and will do our best to support you in your pursuit.
