We are looking for volunteer mentors to take part and share their own experience with a young person. This is a flexible opportunity as no travel is required and gives mentors experience of working directly with a young person and the chance to develop key skills.
Brightside is a social mobility organisation that supports disadvantaged young people all over the United Kingdom to make confident and informed decisions about their future. We do this through online mentoring – creating inspirational connections that change young people’s lives.
Using our bespoke, safe and secure platform, mentors can communicate directly with their mentees (through online messages) to discuss education and career pathways, raise aspirations and confidence and support them during key transition periods.
We would like you to get involved as a mentor, to share your own experience and give your mentees an insight into your sector of work.
Before you are matched to your mentee, we will ask you to attend a 90 minute online webinar training session and to complete a DBS check (that we will pay for and support you through).
If you are interested, please sign up HERE and we will be in touch with more information and next steps to getting you matched with a mentee.
The Brightside Trust is a mentoring charity, working to improve social mobility in education and access to careers.
