Group Mentoring
About organisation / project
IntoUniversity centres offer a welcoming home-from-home for young people: a safe space to learn, explore and succeed. Each local centre offers an innovative programme that supports young people aged seven and up to realise their ambitions, achieve their academic potential, develop vital skills and gain experience of the world of work.
IntoUniversity has been working at the heart of communities since 2002, and now operates 35 learning centres in 18 UK towns and cities. We have ambitious plans to expand to 41 centres by 2024 and work with thousands more young people in need of our support.
In every location we bring about positive, measurable change. Our annual results show that with our help, thousands of young people achieve their chosen aspiration, including university, further and higher education, employment and work-based training.

Our Group Mentoring Scheme is a two-day programme which will run on the 14/04/2025 and 15/04/2025! It is an opportunity for groups of up to three of our young people to be mentored by a University student (or recent graduate).
With the support of IntoUniversity staff, you will lead future, academic and social based activities with your mentees across the two days. You will help the young people with individual goal setting and also have the opportunity to provide 1:1 support. At the end of the two day programme there will be a celebration element to recognise all of your hard work!
What will IntoUniversity expect from you?
- Availability and commitment to the full 2 day programme.
- Commitment to the role and enthusiasm for working with young people.
- Ability to build positive relationships with young people.
- Initiative and collaboration with staff to deliver engaging sessions.
- Compliance with our volunteer code of conduct and safeguarding procedures.
The scheme is a 2 day commitment and wouldn't require any further training.
