Educational mentors needed for the 24'-25' academic year!	8 Jan 2025 00:00 - 8 Jan 2026 00:00 (Wed)

What You'll Do:

Each Volunteer Educational Mentor provides individual educational support to one young person for one hour a week, for a minimum of six months.
These sessions take place either in a public library local to the young person, or in the young person’s college library.
Educational goals are set at the beginning of the mentoring relationship, and reviewed after six months.
Mentors mostly work on the aspects of homework or classwork which young people find most challenging; at times, they also provide additional teaching and prepare resources.
Mentors work closely with the REUK Educational Mentoring team who provide oversight, guidance and support.

Why You'll Love It:

Gain different perspectives from the young people you work with
Join a growing mentor community and meet other individuals from different career sectors
Learn insights and gain experience within the refugee/human rights sector

What We're Looking For:

1. Experience of working with young people and the related challenges (ie: flexibility and patience sometimes required for youth work).
2. Capacity to travel to a location convenient for the young person and an ability to meet the young person by 5:30 pm at the latest.
3. Experience of working with people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures
4. Ability to work on own initiative and a willingness to take on relevant preparation
5. Ability to think creatively and problem-solve
6. Excellent communication/interpersonal skills
7. Good organisational skills
8. Ability to cope with emotionally-demanding and stressful situations
9. Motivated by promoting the wellbeing of children and young people
10. Commitment to and ability to work in accordance with REUK’s Child Protection
policies and Christian Ethos (read more about this here:https://www.reuk.org/our-story).
