By volunteering to be an Education Mentor, you will be helping to shape the next generation. You will be working with groups of young people helping them to unlock their potential. The Mosaic programme was developed with a particular focus on raising the aspirations, self-efficacy and employability of the young people who take part. One of the key ways this is achieved is through connecting more young people to positive, diverse, relatable role model mentors.
In return for your valuable time, we provide the benefits of being part of a dedicated community of colleagues and volunteers, the satisfaction of directly impacting our success, and the undoubted personal development and pleasure that comes from working for the cause of, or directly with young people, the majority of whom face significant barriers and have significant challenges to overcome.
