Are you available for 10 weeks between September-December? Then we'd love your support.
Brightside Connect is our online mentoring programme for 16–18-year-olds who are currently in sixth form or college across the country. Running during the autumn term, your support as a mentor will be invaluable, using your experience to help your mentee(s) to understand their next steps after school. Over a 10-week period, you might help them to explore university courses, write a CV, practice interview technique, revise for exams, and much more. Here’s a bit more information:
- Rolling 10-week programme starting in September 2026 until Christmas
- Not sector- or location-specific so all mentors are welcome
- Text-based with optional video calls
- 16-18-year-olds take part through their school/college
You would need to give around 1-2 hours a week but this is dependent on each mentoring conversation. It is all online and super flexible to fit around your commitments.
