What is 1MM?
One Million Mentors is a community-based mentoring project with one simple aim: to connect one million young people with one million life-changing opportunities. We want to give young people the opportunity to gain the knowledge, skills, networks and confidence to succeed. 1MM connects young people with businesses, professionals and people within local communities who have the experience and expertise in the world of work and want to share it.
Our mentoring empowers young people to become the best version of themselves: building relationships - without assumption and judgment - where they benefit from someone else's experience and perspective and can think bigger, find their their own answers and take the next meaningful step into their future.
We recruit, train and deploy volunteer mentors, matching them with mentees and providing high quality support to both so that they are well prepared and able to have an effective and efficient mentoring relationship. Our mentoring is one to one, for young people aged 14-25, for 1 hour, once a month, for up to a year.
We are always looking for people over 18 to sign up independently and become mentors. Whether you are a college student, university student, working or just want some help and guidance on your future, 1MM is here to provide the best mentoring support you need.
We know from those who are already mentored by us that, as a result of the programme, you will:
· More confident
· Being able to communicate better with others
· More aware of your personal skills and what you can do to improve these
· More comfortable meeting different professionals
More aware of the different options available to you
