How it works
We design and run programmes, recruit and train volunteers, and facilitate meaningful conversations between mentors and mentees.
We collaborate with partners (including schools and employers) to deliver mentoring programmes through our safe, secure and safeguarded online platform.
Mentee stories
Rano’s story
I knew I wanted to be a lawyer but I was concerned about the workload. My mentor was a working lawyer, so not only gave me advice about my UCAS application and interview questions, but also reassured me that you don’t need to overwork yourself to be successful. He told me about his personal experience of finding balance and saying no, and reminded me how important enjoying your free time is.
I found mentoring to be a positive experience: it made me feel more confident and it was really rewarding. I loved feeling like I was making a difference.
