The IntoUniversity Mentoring scheme pairs a university student with one of IntoUniversity’s young people (aged 10-17), giving them the opportunity to receive tailored, one-to-one support for their academic attainment, social skills and future planning. 

• Receive initial training and ongoing support
• Volunteer just one hour every two weeks
• Work one-to-one with a young person aged 10-17 on academic, social, and future skills (Activities can range from speech writing, to homework help, to baking, to group trips!)
• Develop your own skills, including communication and leadership
• Gain experience for your CV
• Make a real difference to a young person’s life

We're open

• 9.30-6 on Monday and Thursday,
• 9-5.30 on Tues and Weds,
• 9-4.30 on Friday. 

What skills do I need?

• Must be a current university student
• Commitment to the role and to providing the best support possible to your mentee
• Enthusiasm and a proactive approach
• The ability to build a positive relationship with a young person
• 5 meeting minimal commitment (although more is encouraged!)
