To volunteer as a mentor, we recommend being at least 25 years old and having the right to work or volunteer in the UK. However, if you are over 18 and feel you have relevant experience and a strong interest in becoming a volunteer mentor, you are still welcome to apply. 

You can be a mentor if you are employed, retired, self employed or not currently working, we just ask that you have at least 3 years worth of experience from the world of work - whatever that looks like for you.

You may not realise it, but you already have a lot to contribute, even if you have not volunteered before. Becoming a volunteer mentor simply requires a friendly attitude and a little bit of time. It’s also a fantastic way to gain skills and experience in an area that interests you!
