Mentoring for schools and careers

Give every young person a mentor in their corner.

Mentor Action matches students, graduates and young professionals with the right mentors, through our own community, their school or a partner programme.

Every young person deserves someone in their corner. Someone who listens, asks good questions and opens doors they did not know were there.

“A brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.”
John C. Crosby

Who it is for

Three ways to get a mentor

Through our in-house community

Graduates, young professionals and anyone looking for guidance can sign up on their own and get a mentor from our experienced pool.

Through your school

Your school invites you and matches you with mentors it trusts, in a private space with its own name and colours.

Through a partner programme

Employers, NGOs and programmes with a special arrangement get a branded community for the people they support. Get in touch to set one up.
