Become a mentor
Change a young person’s future ...and yours!
Being a mentor means engaging concretely in a societal project that both makes sense and works! Once trained by the association, you will coach a young person for two/three hours a week over a period of six months. You will define his/her professional project, look for job offers, train him/her for interviews, and discuss the codes that are specific to the sector or to our culture.
By sharing your experience gained throughout your career, you will really offer a young person the chance to build his or her own project, and without even realising it, bring new meaning to your own.
To become a mentor, you :
Are over 50 years old
Are available 2 to 3 hours per week
Have professional experience on which you can capitalise on (whether you are retired or still working)
Why becoming a mentor?
To value and pass on your professional experience
To live a unique and enriching human experience
To join a network of active mentors
To get involved in an act of cvic volunteering
To develop new skills thanks to continuing education
NO PREVIOUS COACHING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!
