Mentor a student! - One Million Mentors

We recruit, train and deploy volunteer mentors, matching them with mentees (students at Harris Academy - Sutton 6th Form), and providing high quality support to both so that they are well prepared and can have an effective and impactful mentoring relationship. Our mentoring is one to one, for young people aged 14-25 years old, for 1 hour, once a month, for up to a year.

About the Organisation

Here at One Million Mentors, our aim is to ensure that every young person in the country has access to a trained mentor as they transition into adulthood. We believe that investing in mentors will help to address the skills gap agenda and improve social cohesion.
