Distance Mentoring for Adults

Mentors dedicate 1–2 hours per week to support an adult from an ethnic minority background in areas such as language development, employability, education, or personal growth either online or in-person. Each mentor is carefully matched with a suitable mentee to ensure a rewarding experience for both.

Experience required

Interest in helping people through transfer of skills/experience. You do not need to be a specialized person to support others. Mentors come from all walks of life and all they have in common is a willingness to give something back to the community and empower others who are in need for help.
