Job description
Are you looking for a meaningful volunteering opportunity where you can make a real difference? We are currently recruiting new Volunteer Mentors to join our growing, diverse network of dedicated volunteers.
At Hope for the Young, our mission to support young refugees and asylum seekers in London as they overcome the many challenges of starting a new life in the UK. From navigating education systems to building confidence and social connections, our Volunteer Mentors play a crucial role in helping young people achieve their goals and fulfil their potential.
What You’ll Do as a Mentor
-
Meet with a young person (mentee) once a week for 1–3 hours, usually in a local café, library, or community space in London

Set education and personal development goals and offer guidance, support and motivation towards these
-
Commit to mentoring for a minimum of six months
Who We’re Looking For
We welcome applications from people of different ages, cultural backgrounds, and professional experiences. You don’t need prior mentoring experience - just empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to support a young person.
We’re especially keen to build a diverse pool of mentors to reflect the backgrounds and experiences of the young people we support. We particularly welcome and encourage applications from those with lived experience of forced migration, as well those with ethnically diverse backgrounds.
What We Provide
When you volunteer with us, you’ll receive:
-
A comprehensive induction and training to prepare you for the role
-
Ongoing 1:1 support from a dedicated Mentoring Coordinator
-
Reimbursed expenses for all meetings and activities with your mentee
-
Invitations to regular social events for mentors and mentees
-
The opportunity to join a passionate community committed to making a positive impact
Why Volunteer With Us?
As a mentor, you will have the opportunity to make a tangiable difference in a young person's life, and you will also be able to:
-
Develop your coaching, communication, and interpersonal skills
-
Gain a deeper understanding of the refugee and asylum seeker experience
-
Join a supportive and inspiring community of volunteers
If you’re passionate about supporting young people and want to help someone build a brighter future, we’d love to hear from you!
