Description of the opportunity:

 

We are looking for more mentors across Greater Manchester to meet the demand of mentees. Share your knowledge, skills and passion and change a young person’s life.

One Million Mentors is a unique, community-based mentoring programme, bringing together local young people and volunteer mentors who give an hour a month for up to a year. The aim is to increase young people's career chances by providing them with a full trained mentor who will encourage them and give them insight into their own professional experience.

You will meet with your mentee for 1 hour a month for 1 year.

Once you have signed up as a Mentor on our platform, you will need to complete the online training.

You will be matched with a mentee based on the information you each put in your profiles. You can be matched with a mentee individually or we may invite you to sign up to a program through a Youth Partner (schools/colleges/youth organisations) where a cohort of mentors and mentees will conduct their monthly mentoring sessions simultaneously.

Most mentoring will most likely be a mix of face-to-face and online sessions but infrequently completely online or completely face-to-face, depending on the needs of the mentee/mentor/Youth Partner.

We will be there to support you if you have any issues, you will have monthly check-ins and there are also online workshops you can attend to expand your training further.
