Haringey is looking for volunteers to mentor to young people who will be taking part in a new programme launched by Haringey Fairer Education Fund.
The Fairer Education Fund is a new programme of support for young people applying to higher education. It sets out to make access to higher education fairer, as part of the council’s wider ambitions to create a more equal borough.
Anyone who is interested in becoming a mentor should email an expression of interest to: fairereducation@haringey.gov.uk.
We are looking for mentors from a variety of career and educational backgrounds, so please consider sharing it to your wider networks, partner organisations and others outside of Haringey too. We want to pair mentors and mentees up who have relevant interests and aspirations, to ensure that both parties get the most out of the experience.
We are hoping for a minimum commitment of six months and ideally two hours a month of mentoring (this would equate to two students). Training will be provided and the mentoring itself is expected to begin in the Spring 2021.
Please contact aaron.scorse@haringey.gov.uk if you have any specific questions.
