Summary
Volunteer as an educational mentor with REUK! Support young refugees navigating education in the UK, helping them unlock their potential for a brighter future!
Detailed description
Refugee Education UK (REUK) is dedicated to supporting young refugees and asylum seekers in overcoming educational barriers, ensuring they thrive in school, college, and beyond. Our mentoring program pairs young refugees with dedicated volunteers who provide support, guidance, and encouragement to help them achieve their academic and personal goals.
What Does an Educational Mentor Do?
As a mentor, you will:
- Meet regularly for 1 hour a week with a young refugee to provide academic and pastoral support.
- Help them develop study skills, navigate educational challenges, and plan for their future.
- Encourage their confidence and independence by acting as a positive role model.
Mentoring sessions usually take place in the weekdays in a public location, such as a library, and although our office is based in Birmingham this opportunity is for mentoring that will take place in Coventry. We also ask for a commitment of 6 months.
Who We’re Looking For
We welcome mentors from all backgrounds who:
- Are passionate about education and equal opportunities.
- Have strong communication skills, patience, and empathy.
- Are committed to making a positive impact on a young person’s life.
No specific teaching experience is required—just a willingness to help and learn. We provide training, ongoing support, and resources to ensure you feel confident in your role.
How to Apply
If you’re interested, please apply through our website or contact us directly.
We’d love to hear from you!
