Mentor Together

Mentortogether operates formal youth mentoring programmes, aimed at providing disadvantaged youth groups support through a volunteer mentor when they have no opportunities to find natural mentors. As a pair, mentor and mentee work through a curriculum designed and structured by the Mentortogether team. Mentors work on improving mentees' language skills, developing mentees' life skills, and helping them pursue their academic and career goals. Mentors come from varied professional backgrounds and are selected through an application pool according to personal and professional aspects that match them to specific mentees. Mentoring takes place through both online and face-to-face mediums. Mentortogether operates an online platform, where mentees and mentors communicate via regular emails. Mentortogether also organises twice monthly face to face meetings between the mentors and the mentees so that they form a bond and get to know each other in the flesh. In addition, Mentortogether organises special workshops for the mentees, to supplement the work covered with mentors, in English communication, Health Education, Career and Academic choices, thus adding a holistic dimension to their overall academic and career knowledge.
